Welcome to my portfolio

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy will take Amadeus the Wizard, Zoya the Thief, and Pontius the Knight on their most action-packed journey yet!

With their reputations tarnished, loved ones in danger, and their own magical powers at stake, the Heroes of Trine must reunite to push back a fearsome Clockwork army and bring peace and justice to the land!

Trine 5 continued my foray into gameplay oriented programming work. Like Trine 4 mentioned below I mainly worked on general gameplay stuff without specializing into any particular area. Things I implemented include various gameplay elements, net game implementations and many behind the scenes improvements and bug fixes.

Starbase is a space MMO, with a hybrid of voxel and vertex-based technologies, fully destructible environment and an infinitely expanding universe. The gameplay in Starbase is focused on building and designing spaceships and stations, exploration, resource gathering, crafting, trading, and combat. The multitude of fine-detailed simulations in the game allow the players the ultimate freedom to conquer space and unleash their creativity.

As an MMO it is something unlike I've ever worked on. Starbase uses a heavily modified version of Frozenbyte's engine, forgoing the more complex entity-component system used in the earlier projects almost entirely and streamlining it to suit the performance needs of a massive online game.

Having joined the project in the months preceding to the Early Access launch I mostly worked on implementing new tools for the space ship creator with both the paint tool and the decal tool being my contributions. Not only that I also worked on the GUI with the space ship creator's material cost window and porting it to the in game shop panels as well.

The three heroes of the best-selling adventure series are back, sent on a quest to retrieve the troubled young Prince Selius. Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief are joined together once again on a thrilling quest through fantastical fairytale landscapes teeming with danger.

Prince Selius suffers from intensely dark dreams and, due to his magical talents, monstrous nightmares are able to slip into reality and wreak havoc on the waking world. Amadeus, Pontius, and Zoya must find the afflicted prince and resolve the desperate situation before the world is engulfed by the Nightmare Prince’s shadows.

Trine 4 was my first foray into a more gameplay oriented programming work during my time at Frozenbyte. Instead of focusing on the lower level nitty-gritty I wanted to have a chance to bring something on the screen that's more visible than just network connection error popups (see Nine Parchments below).

Mainly I worked on general gameplay stuff without specializing into any particular area. Things I implemented include gameplay effects support and triggers, finalized puzzle implementations, a few physics features like linear velocity drive and rotational drive entities for moving objects, pulley systems and many behind the scenes improvements.

Nine Parchments is a co-operative blast'em up game of magic mayhem. Runaway apprentice wizards seize the opportunity to complete their spellbooks by going after the lost Nine Parchments. As the would-be wizards rapidly acquire powerful new spells without learning proper safety measures, it's natural their hasty progress results in plenty of deadly accidents...

Nine Parchments was the second shipped game during my employment at Frozenbyte and being a larger game comparatively it has been a lot of work.

My work on this game was primarily bringing our in house engine up to speed with the required network programming for online multiplayer on both the Microsoft Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. On Nintendo Switch I worked on the controllers again, adding the support for single JoyCon gamepads and implementing the controls in game.

Embark on an epic journey with the Has-Been Heroes, a group of legendary champions once celebrated throughout the kingdom – almost forgotten until the King has one more quest, the most epic of them all: TO TAKE THE TWIN PRINCESSES TO SCHOOL!

For Has-Been Heroes I mostly worked on the lower level engine stuff. The bulk of my work was specifically console porting to the Nintendo Switch including project setup, implementing new required engine features like inputs, and in particular the new HD rumble system.

Frozenbyte uses an in-house built engine programmed in C++. This being my first shipped game during my employment a lot of my time during the project was also spent studying how the engine works, programming for it and learning to use the editor.

Is being evil hard work? Scyori does it for a living and now you can have a go at it too. There is a space station in the fringes of space that for some reason needs to be blown to pieces along with everyone on it. To make that a reality you have plasma guns and stuff.

The game is a spiritual successor of Pyxenos featuring similar mechanics and graphical style. Due to a lack of time the game project didn't quite reach the intended goal of multiple boss fights and challenging combat. Think of it more as a proof of concept.

I made this whole game alone. For it I created a new engine in C++ with SFML and Box2D with the intention of improving a design I used for my previous projects having gained experience from them. I also made the graphics and the music. Game took part in the Assembly Summer 2013 gamedev competition where it finished in the 10th place.

Brace yourself for a striking adventure. You, Pyxenos, must defend some place for no reason whatsoever now and for ever. Can you do it? Will the overwhelming numbers of your enemies vanquish you or shall you triumph on this day of glory? Only you can find out!

Taking advantage of our already mostly usable game engine for Blogic we created this game in C++. Our goal was to make a challenging and cool looking arena shooter to participate in the Assembly Summer 2012 gamedev competition where it finished in the 5th place. For this project I also created all graphics and the music used in the game.

Blogic is an arcade puzzle game where your goal is to destroy blocks by dropping them from up top to combine them into groups of four or more. Arcade-mode gives you limited time to destroy a certain amount of blocks while Puzzle-mode has unlimited time but a limited amount of moves.

This game was produced as a part of a school course and it was our first bigger C++ project. We built a basic game engine for this game in C++ using SFML.

This project was a very good introduction to the sort of problems one may face when creating games in C++. For example we had plenty of troubles with memory leaks and segmentation faults. For this game I also created a simple level editor so that another team member could design the levels and puzzles.
