Here I’m demonstrating two projects that I made during my time in university, the first is an OpenGL project made in C++ called 'Yohko and the Crow'.

It was inspired by ‘Slender: The Eight Pages’ and begins with the player character Yohko in a closed off murky field believed to be home of the enemy character, the Crow. Yohko’s objective is to vanquish this demon but cannot do so until she has a weapon. There is a shack with a weapon inside with a door that has three locks on it. Yohko must find the three keys to the door scattered across the field while avoiding contact with the Crow. Yohko is defenceless without her weapon and so cannot defeat the Crow without it. Once the keys have been found, Yohko can then enter the shack and obtain her weapon. Once Yohko has her weapon, she can eliminate the Crow who will now be fleeing from her. Once the Crow is defeated, the player will have won.

The second game was actually built in Java using the JBox2D physics engine and was essentially the first ever game I hand coded. This was the project that actually got me fully in touch with my passion for developing games. I had always wanted to create games from a young age, but this was the first time I truly got a taste for it.

The game is a 2D side-scroller and since its creation it has inspired many projects of mine such as the side-scroller I’m currently working on in Unity.
