Project Creation

Why I created it / what I learned

I love the Grand Strategy genre of games, so naturally I've always wanted to make my own. It's not my dream project, but it's one I'm definitely passionate about. I started making this at summer camp, but after I went home I decided to move this to Unity so I could write it in C#.

I think one of the biggest things I learned was about how to design intricate systems of information that all rely on eachother, and rely on input from both the player and the AI. This was the first project I've made that involes AI and complex logistics in the same project, although the AI isn't super developed yet.

This project is probably the 2nd most complicated thing I've made. It was made to enhance the roleplay aspect of the game. It has been continously developed and changed over the past 2 years.

This project also involved a few other team members who did artwork. From this project, I learned a lot about storing/working with data and how to optimize operations for performance. This was also the first project that I used interfaces for.

I made this during a two-week game design camp last summer. It was a really cool experience to be able to really work with other people to make things come to life, and to just talk to some of the people there.

This was my final project for Freshman year computer science. It's pretty small with only 1330 lines, but I spent a couple weeks making it.

This was really the first game I made without a game engine. I learned about how to optimize programs and use visual tricks. The code is very rudimentary, but it was decent for a freshman project.

This was made for Ashea, a minecraft geopolitical server I help develop, to replace a third-party warfare plugin that just didn't work as well.

The coding of the plugin itself was fairly simple, but the process of organizing testers, meeting deadlines, and bugfixing this project was a-lot more difficult. It taught me a lot about teamwork and time management.

This was my first significant attempt at making an "AI" of any kind, which definitely took the bulk of my time. I spent a few months working on this project, and was made for me and 3 other friends to fight "wars" without involving other people.

I made this early on in the COVID lockdowns. Though very rudimentary, it was the first time I ever truly tried to make a game. It was also the first project I showed off to others. It holds a very sentimental place in my heart

As my first standalone project, I learned a decent amount about simply what works and what doesen't in game design and programming. The code itself was horrid, but through that I learned how NOT to do it in the future. I learned a bit more about how multiplayer games work, and I was very proud that my friends all loved the game.

This was made very soon after Nolenopo. It was fairly basic, I really just made it for fun. I learned a bit about animations and very rudimentary 3D modelling, plus making the inventory system, though simple, taught me a-lot about data storage.
