Self-driven Programmer with a robust passion for Game Development.
Graduated - BIT (Game Programming) - Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK)
I am looking for a new Game Programmer position, so that I could contribute my experience and skill set to the project.
My goal with the team would be producing an immersive and responsive gaming experience, that could both challenge and entertain players.
Please check my responsibility description in my CV (bottom left corner) or in my LinkedIn if you're interested. This place is to showcase some of them visually.
Every Morbid enemy utilizes Behavior Tree and AI Perception System for their logical decision. Some of them take advantage of Mob System, which makes them surrounding player and not attacking all at once. This system is developed based on Game AI Pro book, Chapter 28.
For bosses, they are given much more details and complex mechanics, to offer players more challenging combat. I cannot show everything about all bosses, but here's a short footage of the final boss, Ira, who has special abilities of flying and diving.
Note: the boss in this video was not finalized in balancing yet, and I'm also very good at this game. So it looks easier than it should be.
For player animation, I integrated Advanced Locomotion System (ALS) for much smoother movement animation.
Of course, I also had to modify their system a lot, so it could fit to our gameplay mechanics.
Enemy's animation system is much more lightweight for performance reason. Some of them got dynamic animations, to enhance their gameplay and visual.
The 1st enemy rotates its arm to match player's position when (1-arm) attacking. The 2nd enemy rotates its arm towards the ground, the closer it is to the player.
Some rotation and leaning indicate the direction this horse is trying to go. Also make the whole movement more natural.
Most of the enemies have a feature called Bone Stagger, which makes their defined bones to "react" when taking damage. Its purpose is to emphasize the hit impact, whenever the enemy can't get staggered or stunned (for ex, channeling an attack). Please check this video (1st one in this page) to see an example of this feature.
A couple of examples that can be seen through videos.
Targeting Camera: Besides locking camera to target, it can also change camera position to make sure bigger enemies can fit the screen with player.
Tight Space Camera: Automatically move camera to center to avoid snappy collision. Then it will recover back to normal, depends on how fast player is moving.
Dialog Camera: Focus NPC, but player still have control to look around. Re-focus said NPC after player stop controlling camera for certain amount of time.
Critical Blow Camera: Follow player's arm with defined presets for different weapon animation. Player can also change its intensity through Camera Settings Menu.
Reduce lots of Draw Calls with only 2-click

I would be welcome to get into a discussion, if you feel I'd be a strong candidate for a Programmer
position (or any other position) in your organization.
