    Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realize they are far from being alone. In space, death takes many forms.

    This is my first AAA project, working with Supermassive Games through Rhino Rock Studios and Binary Spiders, in the last 6 months to launch.

  • VENATOR

    Multiplayer melee slasher prototype

    This was my first multiplayer game that went beyond silly prototypes with friends. It was a huge challenge that I set for myself to learn more in depth about Unreal Engine and multiplayer networking.

    • Custom real-time swing tracer system
    • Directional parry system
    • Stamina system
    • Classes with different weapons, movement stats and damage types
    • Steamworks integration

    The game went through a few different temporary art styles, but the mechanics remained the same.

    Ultimately, VENATOR was never released – the project lasted about 2 years of continued development but it proved to be far too much at the time. However, I learned so much from creating this (and had a lot of fun playtesting!) so for me, I still consider it a success.

    Who knows, maybe VENATOR may return someday…
