GAME SYSTEM/GAME PLAY DESIGNER
DEMO REEL
Chaos
WHAT ABOUT IT
Chaos
Chaos is a third-person combat game in UE4 by using a special weapon system allow player can always switch or combination it when facing a different situation, try to make the experience between Dark soul and Dynasty Warriors which full of fast kills but challenging
WHAT ABOUT ME
Developer
Initially, I designed a 2d platform action game and used the Unity engine, but my low programming skills brought me a lot of resistance during the development process. After repeated weighing, I switched the platform to UE4 and changed it to a third person combat game. The third person can maximize the performance advantages of the UE4 engine. As the development progressed, I faced many problems, including weapon systems, enemy behavior, and UI and tutorials. But these problems have been solved. I also learned a lot in this development.
WHAT ABOUT EXP
Solo Capstone
Individual development is lonely, no one can give you any suggestions in the initial design, and all the ideas are completed in your brain. As the development progresses, after you have the first playable version, the suggestions from the players will be very important. I have modified the game mechanism more than once. Their suggestions are very meaningful. Can see blind spots that developers can't see. This is a great experience, so far I have developed games or experiences independently using different engines. This will help me more when I work or manage my team in the future.
Galactic Cluster Luck
WHAT ABOUT IT
Galactic Cluster Luck
Galactic Cluster Luck is a local multiplayer game that focuses on short high-octane deathmatch rounds in which the winner(s) accumulate points. The player will battle each other with a multitude of Sci-Fi weaponry that works in tangent with the various levels to create intense encounters. Lastly once a player has reached a certain number of victories will become a unique alien gene and must battle against the three other players in
a boss likes to encounter.
WHAT ABOUT ME
TECHNICAL / LEVEL DESIGNER
​
I am the VFX Artist and Technical Designer, working on Level Design in the early stages of the development, and then started working as a VFX Designer due to not having enough artists in the team, it is very hard at beginning because I have less art skill, but is getting batter when I keep learning.
WHAT ABOUT EXP
SMALL GROUP EXP
​
We start with 9 people when we are making early design, then we got 4 arts in the second semester that was the time we work very hard and have more expectation for our game due to the arts working. Unfortunately, all the arts left in the next semester, which was a challenge for ours me and my other teammate start working on art, and I focus on particle effect. The EXP is profound and useful, it will absolutely help me in the future.

WHAT ABOUT ME
DESIGNER / PROGRAMMER
My first full mobile game solo project, back to the original design when my other classmate is looking for design gameplay and mobile control, I decide that jump over the gameplay and just give the player experience, and that how this game born. Due to that, I want to build a full experience for Gacha, I got lost of jobs to do, UI control, Player infantry, different loot-box...I worked very hard on it and at the same time, I review my programmer skill a lot.
