Since 2008, I've been treating this as an open-source FPS and have become one of the lead scripters in it's combat community. I've worked on over fifty different weapons, twenty vehicles (ground and air) and was the grid's pioneer in anti-armour technology. Alongside this, I've also tied my work into web applications using PHP/MySQL to integrate auth systems, shops, leaderboards and communications software, primarily for a server that efficiently handles this data for over one thousand different users. (Note: The above video only demonstrates a few concepts and does not represent all work.)
A Real-Time Strategy for UTDallas' Game Lab. I was a programmer and a feature designer/implimenter for the second semester of this project, focusing on the side of the plants (the only playable side). This was built in NeoAxis, a versitile, open-source game engine.
A soothing adventure following the path to manhood via your spiritual guide, built in UE3. For this particular project, I was the lead programmer in charge of modifying the UnrealScript and various Kismet items.
