Bezier Curves Mesh Tool for Unity

Evolution of the tool used in Project: Rush! This is a tool for Unity that allows the user to generate procedural meshes based on Bezier curves inside Unity's editor. The user can provide any 2D shape as the base of the mesh and then the tool will extrude it along the Bezier curve generating a 3D mesh. The user can also modify the shape of the mesh by modifying the control points of the curve, twisting, rotating or moving the mesh. The tool also allows the use to change the ammount of segments of the mesh and store this mesh to use it in the game.

Gauntlet Remastered

Remastered version of the classic Gauntlet game. This game was made by me for the Interactive Game Programming course of Shawnee State University in 2024 as part of an exchange program I did. This projects was made by me in 3 different game engines: Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot. The main goal was to explore the differences between the engines and the challenges that each one of them presents as well as to learn how to use each of them. All the versions of the game are available for download in the itch.io page of the game.

Project: Rush!

3D Mario Kart style game where the player has to collect as many collectables as he can during a 3 lap race. This project was done for the Game Engines course of UJI university in 2024. It was made by me completely from scratch except from the assets that were obtained through the Unity Asset Store. The main goal of the project was to experiment with creating a tool that generates procedural meshes based on Bezier curves that I also did along the development of the game and to also experiment with the use of machine learning for the enemies of the game.

Prop Trip (Jam version)

Infinite fist person movement shooter where the player has to survive as long as possible while shooting enemies and dodging their bullets. This game was made by the teams Back to Bits (a team that I am part of) and Punic Goose for the UJI Game Jam 2024 in 48h. Our main goal was to explore new mechanics, their implementation challenges and dig further into the use of toon shaders and post processing effects. The Jam version is kind of buggy and unpolished but we are still working on it and we will release a more polished version soon.

It was made for the Triple assignature project of the UJI university in 2023 and for the townhall of Ares del Maestrat, our final customer. The main goal of the game was to promote the Watermill's rout of Ares del Maestrat and show it's story while keeping the players entertained, beacuse of that, we had to travel to Ares del Maestrar, gather and research information and exchange information with the townhall to make the game as accurate as possible.
