here i’ll share some of the work i’m most proud of. most of it is open-source, and available on my GitHub, except for some projects like games.

Kitty’s Quest

Kitty’s Quest is a game developed for the Metroidvania Month game jam in 2022, as a test-drive of GalaEngine’s practicality in game development.

it’s a challenging, retro-style platformer where you embark on a journey for tuna as a little kitty cat :3.

this game suffers a lot from gameplay imbalance, but its primary goal was to get a feel for game development, and how game development felt with GalaEngine at the time.

GalaEngine

GalaEngine was an open-source 3D game engine written in C++, originally with the goal of providing a FOSS alternative to more commercial game engines. it was my first bigger project, and although it sadly failed, i’ve learned a lot about game development and programming in general! i also made Kitty’s Quest in this game engine.

GalaMake

GalaMake was a simple tool used to pack resources into engine-ready formats. it supported advanced-ish features like self-repair options for projects. it taught me a lot about working on utilities!
