Role: Gameplay Programmer, Software Engineer
Platform: PC
Software: Game Maker Studio 2, Visual Studio, Adobe After Effects, Trello
Knock-Out Arcade is a 2D fighting game made in Game Maker Studio 2 with the Game Maker language.
This was a Production Studio project, meaning it was a student-run project pitched for other
students to work on in a class. Different students get onboarded across semesters, and I was onboarded
as a programmer during the project's second semester running.
During my time working on the project, I quickly established myself as a teammate that was
dedicated to make the project as good as possible with the time I had to work on it. I communicated
frequently with the project lead, the designers, and the other programmers to get a firm grasp of the
overall vision of the project and what needed to be done.
Even though I wasn't classified as a lead in the project, the other programmers often came to me
for help on their tasks and I helped them. Rather than doing the tasks for them, I taught them the best
ways for them to do their tasks and gave them a starting point to work off of whenever they got stuck.
