Noctem is a racer that I had worked on in college. In this game you control a ball of light. Along the track you slowly lose your light, diminishing the distance in whicn you can see further along the track. To combat this, you must pick up white powerups called Lumen to increase the amount of light you emit, allowing you to see farther down the track.

I was the Asset lead in which I acted as the mediator between the art team and the programming team, making sure we get the art and sounds for our game. I also made the multi-layered sound engine which uses OpenAL as the audio API and loads Ogg Vorbis sounds. I have also made a scripting system which was used for level loading and loading assets

As a side note, Shake n Bake was the name of our studio. Somebody got it from the movie Talladega Nights. Also, the picture was found by one of the guys I had worked with so I won't be claiming copyright over it since it isn't mine.

Canisk is the first game I have created on a team of three. The other two members were Andrew Johnson and Bryan Lister. It is a game in which the goal is to destroy enemy castles and take over all of the territories within the game world. It is also a multiplayer game in which you can play with up to four people using gamepads or mice.

I had no official title for the creation of this game, but I had created the particle editor and some of the art for the game. I also worked on creating the GUI (Graphical User Interface). At the time of making this game, one of the lab instructers named Keyvan requested that we use multiple mice which proved very difficult for us being the first time we have made a game, or tried programming multiple mouse input. However, we did get it working.

You can download the game here.
