Neon Oblivion

2021

Curses! You’ve been cursed! As the wireframe starts taking over your body and your palm is turned into an orb, you realize one good thing: power. You have a lot of it now. You can swing from everything: buildings, trees, castles, birds, the sky’s the limit. Well, it’s all fun and games until the curse keeps spreading. You must track down the wizard who put this curse on you and find the cure. Swing your way through the wizard’s castle, up to the tallest tower, and save yourself from becoming vaporwave before it’s too late. Neon Oblivion is a first-person puzzle game using a grapple-type mechanic to traverse the levels.

This game was made as part of my capstone class.

Built the player controller utilizing Unity's joint system to provide physics-based movement along with an intuitive dash mechanic, which is the backbone of the gameplay.

Provided support and tooling to designers to create levels faster and more efficiently, such as a ray that displays the distance between two clicked points, and designed the tutorial/early levels.

Created visual effects such as the torch fire particle, and narrative collectible particle systems.

Handled all of the game's lighting and post-processing.

Instituted a HUB world that allowed an easy flow of gameplay and narrative delivery points.
