Edge of Twilight - Someome Special.wmv - Edge Of Twilight - is a third person action adventure game in development for the PC, PLAYSTATION3 and Xbox 360 platforms. Game play is split between combat, puzzle-solving and exploration. These elements are in turn split between the two parallel planes of reality that only the player may traverse; the spiritually influenced, Lithern night realm, and the industrial, Athern dominated, day realm.
My Input
When: 2008-2009
Position: Programmer
Company: Fuzzyeyes Studios
Location: Brisbane, Australia
Project Name: Edge of Twilight
Languages: C++, UnrealScript
Engine: Unreal Engine 3
Roles and Responsibilities:
My main responsibility for the first year of the project was to develop the A.I system used in the game. I would be given a 3D Model along with starting animations and I would have to implement phase one from the design documents. During this phase I worked closely with
both the designers and animators to create something enjoyable for the game.
During the second year I worked on many different aspects of the game. I implemented new game play mechanics such as player combat, volumes, camera systems and editor tools; I even coded more abstract things such as the new Asus Motion Controller into UnrealEngine3
for our game as a possible bundle deal with Asus.

XyroMovie.avi - Xyro - A 3D Third person shooter, made as a final year project at Qantm College.
My responsibilities mainly concerned all aspects of the menu system. I also contributed to the in game GUI, path-finding, sound and input.
I created the menu system in around a week with layering being the most difficult element to implement. Once layer problems were solved, I was able to create features such as the in-game weapon selection UI. Here the selectable weapons would scroll beneath the GUI frame.
I also implemented a range of sound engines commencing with OpenAL, but eventually settling on FMod due to its simplicity and large variety of supported audio formats.
Basic input system was implemented by hijacking the windows message pump and registering the input keys. I also integrated 'XInput', the basic windows driver for the XBox360 controller.
Additionally, I utilized a 2D path-finding system developed at UNI, modifying it for 3D in Xyro.
2Dlights.avi - 2D dynamic lighting - A 2D dynamic lighting demo written in 2003.
The system is demonstrated by a box figure, who walks by rotating his feet with rotation matrices. The lighting was created by rendering a soft sphere onto the alpha buffer. The shadow volumes were then calculated by finding the outside edges and back faces to convex objects. A polygon is then rendered from those edges to ones formed by scaling out the lines from the light source.
This was a fun experiment of mine which I learned through doing matrix and vector math for the first time.
Octtree.avi - Octree Demo - Octree demo showing use of an octree on a height-map.
The height-map was generated using my height-map Editor and presents a top down perspective in order to demonstrate frustum culling.
This was an assessment for uni where the objective was to demonstrate applied game mathematics in a DirectX environment.
HeightMapEdit.avi - 3D terrain deformation editor.
This was created for a uni assessment; we had to create a height-map renderer but due to this being my first DirectX application i decided to do a little more work and do a real time a height-map editor that edits height-map and calculates normals in real time.
Also has the ability to undo unlimited amount of edits; this is where i really begun to hate floating point errors :D.
rpgeditor.avi - World of 2D Craft Editor - A 2D RPG LVL Editor, builds linking nodes, allows snapping, texture map.
This was a personal project I had; I decided to make a 2D RPG Tile editor that you could use to make world for games such as Pokémon. The saved maps could then be used on different devices such as the game boy or even just on the PC platform.
I created this when i started doing some NintendoDS programming; turns out i prefer coding for much larger games.
