Hey, I'm Rob!
A recent graduate from Kennesaw State University, where I earned a BS in Computer Game Design and Development
About Me
I'm a passionate game developer based out of Atlanta, Georgia with a passion for making 2.5D games. When I'm not diving into code you can find me exploring Faerun and The Sword Coast in Baldur's Gate 3, and jamming to 80s rock. 🤘

Projects
Monster Grabber
Global Game Jam 2022
Monster Grabber is a game where your enemies are also your weapons. Pick the enemies up after you stun them and use their unique abilities to fight other enemies. I did a majority of the programming for this game along with a team of 4 other awesome people who made the great art and music. Monster Grabber was made in Unity within 48 hours during Global Game Jam 2022 with the theme "duality." We ended up winning 3rd place at our location!
Wizard's Tower
KSU Student Project Fall 2019
Wizard's Tower is a VR game I made using Unity and an HTC Vive during the Fall of 2019 for my studio class. The idea is that you're an intern working for a wizard that accidentally pushes a button taking you to a crypt full of undead creatures. I was the only programmer for this game and ended up using a lot of assets off the Unity store. I made a few custom assets like the room's walls and the wand. I programmed the wand to shoot fireballs and the potion to pour and heal the player when it's tipped over. I also made every interactable object reappear at its original location if the player threw or dropped them and they looked away.

IO
KSU Student Project Spring 2019
IO is a game where you use blocks to shoot at bugs and to traverse a digital landscape. I made this game along with 3 other awesome, talented classmates throughout spring semester in 2019. I primarily programmed the player movement, shooting blocks, the block explosion, enemy movement, the shader on the IO letters, and the geometric particle effect you see on the title screen. I also made the trailer and the Interactive Output team logo animation.
