DRIFT BOOM BOOM is a top-down combat racing game with similarities to Rock n Roll Racing. It will feature a "Story Mode" with character dialogue and varied objectives, as well as a "Challenge Mode" in which players race to earn money to upgrade their cars and take on increasingly challenging AI opponents.
All game modes support up to four players.
I chose Unity Engine for its robust Asset Store, mature porting tools, and fast iteration time.
Seeking publisher support soon. Project has a long way to go, but it's far enough along to be fun.
Created several plugins and content packs for use in Unreal Engine 5.
Focused on scalability and efficiency so that my plugins could be used for Indie or AA titles with few modifications.
The Realistic Train & Railroad System is a full turn-key train and railroad system that allows you to add a moving train to an Unreal map in less than five minutes.
The system was originally developed during a game jam, and then cleaned up and fleshed out further for release as a Content Pack.
Virtual Heroes, a division of Applied Research Associates, uses Unreal Engine to develop serious games (training games) and simulations.
Projects are mostly military and medical.
VTAK is the 3D and VR implementation of TAK.
Basically a soldier or emergency worker can use it to import terrain of a real-world location, walk around the location at 1:1 scale, plan a mission, and monitor the mission in real-time from a virtual command center. It syncs up with GPS-tracked phones and other devices in the real world in real-time.
Some of my contributions to VTAK and VTAK-adjacent projects:
Aside from oversight and guidance, Survios interns are treated like their other developers.
An augmented reality map of Marshall University. If user is on-campus, it will highlight their current location. Its main goal is to give new students and visitors a better understanding of the campus layout by showing it to them in a 3D and interactive format.
Learned C++, C#, Unity, Unreal and a smattering of other things. GPA 3.9
