Noteworthy projects that I've been a part of
Staged!
"Staged!" is a short turn based adventure game with a table-top aesthetic, and was developed in the first semester of the bachelor's degree program for PC and Xbox 360 using C# and XNA. A team of four students contributed to the project:
Nav Batthi, Alexandra Kabak, Christopher Klassen, René Ye
An unlikely trio of characters wake up at the bottom of a dungeon; none know one another, and none know how they ended up down there. Greeted by a mysterious voice, they are informed that their only hope of escape is to fight their way through the dungeon, together.
Roles for this project included rendering, systems, file I/O, player input, collisions, and overworld enemy creation and logic.
Depth Charge
Depth Charge is a deep sea eldritch bullet hell, and was developed in the third semester of the bachelor's degree program for PC using C++, OpenCL, Assembly, and Allegro. A team of four students contributed to the project:
Steven Chen, Alexandra Kabak, Christopher Klassen, Jack Tsai
Dive into the depths to defeat an ancient god that is flooding the Earth in Depth Charge, an eldritch bullet hell. Shoot your way through a sea of monsters, using elemental magic to exploit your enemies' weaknesses. As light fades and pressure mounts, can you survive this unforgiving crusade?
Roles for this project included level transitions, menus, file I/O, OpenCL implementation, player input and logic, enemy creation and logic.
Law Enforcement VR - L.E.V.R
Law Enforcemtn VR is a proof-of-concept project which takes the original virtual scenario training idea, currently used by law enforcement, and brings it into virtual reality. The concept was to provide more immersive 360° scenarios using VR, as well as aleviate the need for instructor operation by adding in voice recognition to progress scenarios. The application was developed for Windows 10 PC's using C#, Unity, Adobe FUSE and Mixamo, SRGS grXML, and the SteamVR library.
The project was completed for the major project (practicum) requirement of the bachelor's degree program at BCIT, and had only one contributer, Alexandra Kabak.
L.E.V.R. was carried out from inital conception and proposal in just under 500 hours. Various new technologies, languages, and skills were learned throughout the process, including:
VR development for the HTC Vive using SteamVR, SRGS (Speech Recognition Grammar Specification) using grXML, Unity, project management.
