Thu, 01 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This was a project I worked on at Mediatonic when Scopely entrusted Mediatonic to make a highly polished version of Dice with Buddies. I was in charge of implementing the Gacha system for winning new dice.

Fantastic Beasts

“Fantastic Beasts – cases from the wizarding world” is a hidden object game developed to coincide with the release of the first Fantastic Beasts movie. The game follows a similar format to games such as Criminal Case where the player must solve hidden object scenes as well as a variety of mini-games to identify the beasts causing havoc in the wizarding world. I was Senior Developer on this project, having architectured the project from scratch as well as developing several of the minigames and visual effects in the game. The game has now had several million downloads, and you’ll even find me playing a character in-game https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Philbert_Chivers

Bounty Stars

Sun, 01 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Bounty stars is a rogue-like/RPG set in space, with a mixture of story-driven elements, crew battles and ship battles. I worked on all aspects of the game. In particular, I made tools for setting up the story elements and engineered the procedural way in which they are displayed in the game. I also set up the animation system, using animation override controllers to re-use a single animation state machine. I also set up the systems for generating procedural enemy characters.
