StarbaseWindows

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 old complex entity-component system used in the more traditional games 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've mostly worked on implementing new tools for the space ship creator with both the paint tool and the decal tool being my contributions. I have also worked on the GUI with the space ship creator's material cost window.

Trine 4Windows, Xbox One, PS4, Switch

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 is 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).

Primarily I've worked on a lot of general gameplay stuff without specializing into any particular area. However, to list a few gameplay features I've been implementing: 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 some general behind the scenes improvements.

Nine ParchmentsWindows, Xbox One, PS4, Switch

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 is 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 has primarily been 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 was working on the controllers again, adding the support for single JoyCon controls.

Has-Been HeroesWindows, Xbox One, PS4, Switch

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 doing lower level engine stuff. Most of my work related to this game specifically was console porting to the Nintendo Switch including project setup, implementing 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 learning how to program in the engine and how to use the editor.

ScyoriWindows

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 compo where it finished on 10th place.

StonelayerAndroid

An intended sequel to Protect Anubis. Game has been programmed almost completely in C++ apart from the required Java code necessary for an Android application. Our self made engine utilizes OpenGL ES 1.1 to draw stuff on screen. Audio playback is implemented using Android's own SoundPool and MusicPlayer classes with binds between Java and C++ code. Uses Box2D for physics.

Unfortunately the project was not finished due to time constraints and is on an indefinite hold or in other words, practically cancelled.

PyxenosWindows

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 compo where it finished on the 5th place. For this project I also created all graphics and the music used in the game.

BlogicWindows

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 and Puzzle-mode unlimited time but with limited amount of moves.

This game was our first bigger C++ project. We built a basic game engine for this game in C++ using SFML. Project was very good introduction to the problems that one may face when creating games in C++. We had plenty of troubles with memory leaks and segmentation faults. For this game I also created a simple level editor in HTML, JavaScript and PHP so that another team member could design levels and puzzles.

Protect AnubisWindows Phone 7

The Empire of Rome has attacked the God of the Dead, Anubis, and you must protect him from the legion's relentless assault in this physics based game. Place blocks of solid rock between the romans and Anubis in order to deflect the projectiles and save the world from certain doom.

Protect Anubis was the first mobile game I've created. It was programmed in C# using XNA framework and Farseer physics for Windows Phone 7.
