Packet Patrol

A network-security game with a retro terminal soul: you patrol a stream of packets on a CRT-styled interface, spotting and quarantining anomalies before they reach the network. The aesthetic is the mechanic: the vintage-monitor presentation (photographed as a physical CRT prop for the trailer) turns anomaly detection into a period-piece puzzle. The design ran through storyboards and flow diagrams before any Blueprint was written.

Vegan Zombie: Crop Apocalypse

A first-person survival romp set in the Australian outback: zombies want your crops, and you defend the farm shotgun-in-hand while gathering vegetables to complete randomized recipes. The interesting part is the systems work. A procedural recipe system generates a new recipe each run and live-tracks collected ingredients against it (requirements printed in yellow, current inventory state in red, updated every time you bank ingredients), which is what makes each run replayable rather than memorizable. Completing recipes grants randomized buffs (move speed or money) that feed a light economy loop.

Combat got the same systems treatment: a zombie health model (100 HP), tuned hitboxes, aim-detection improvements, health-bar widgets, and a shotgun with realistic spread and distance-based damage falloff on a parabolic curve:

// Shotgun damage: 100 at point-blank, parabolic falloff to a 5-damage floor
damage = (distance <= 50)
  ? 100 * pow(1 - distance / 50, 2)
  : 5;

Presentation-layer details carried the polish: a live vegetable-count 3D widget wired to the in-world collection bucket, a settings menu with functional graphics options, and quality-of-life fixes like vegetables no longer de-spawning in the bucket. Each landed and was documented in a dated devlog.

Iso-Scapes

Every landscape you see is generated, not authored: Perlin noise produces height values, falloff maps shape islands out of the noise, and an auto-tiling pass (built with my teammate Keenan) turns raw heights into coherent terrain: cliffs, shores, forests, and water. Hit Re-Generate and a new world assembles itself. The terrain algorithm was prototyped in p5.js first, where iteration is fast, then ported to C# for the real renderer.
