Memorex is a very simple walking simulator game, the main focus of which is to guide the player to a teenager's fantasies in a chill and relaxed mood. During the game the player just walks around Rex's dreamy world and explore it slowly, stepping on some stones to piece together all of Rex's memories.

This project was developed in Unity as an exam project in the MSc in Games at the IT University of Copenhagen. Initially conceived to explore relaxed gameplay through nostalgic walkman imagery, Memorex became a game about the relationship of Rex - a teenager - and his father who lives in Japan. The game starts from Rex's bedroom, where the protagonist finds a shamisen (a japanese guitar-like instrument) sent to him as a gift from the distant father, and then moves to a fantasy land. Here, Rex goes through his memories, finding his videogames, the first fishing and sushi with dad and other experiences that helped him grow as the person he is now. Finally, Rex returns to his room, called for dinner by his mom, and the game ends with this cyclic metaphor.

I developed this in a team of 5 students and many of my ideas ended up in the final product. In particular, my contributions include:

• Camera programmer, iterating through different styles and finally implementing a "hybrid" dolly follow;
• Transition programmer, smoothly switching scenes and cameras programmatically;
• Level designer, responsible mainy for the creation of the central bedroom hub;
• Narrative designer, responsible for dialogues and environmental storytelling;
• Art Bible creator, responsible for aligning the vision internally and sharing it to the public;
• General polishing of many graphical and code details.

Dispattern is a mobile interactive music experience aimed to connect up to 4 players simultaneously, in order to create beautiful music together. The players can draw platforms with simple swipes, and the note produced varies in relation to the platform's length.

This project was developed in Unity as an exam project during my MSc in Games at the IT University of Copenhagen. The multiplayer component is handled via Firebase, which handles platforms' transactions and player states. If more than 4 users connect at the same time, the ones not playing can spectate and listen to the music piece, while waiting for their seat to play.

While developing Dispattern, I've had the chance to improve in these regards:

• Shader development in HLSL, specifically playing with reverse subtractive effects and sprite texturing;
• Game logic implementation to support rendering of online multiplayer actions;
• Touch input handling for complex logic and animations in Unity;
• Reactive UI and tutorialization;
• Game mechanics design to satisfy constraint set by sounds and art.

Light of The Moon is a basic bullet-hell boss arena battle game made with free isometric 2D sprites. The aim of this project was never meant to become a polished finished product, whereas this was developed as an exam project in the MSc in Games at the IT University of Copenhagen to showcase low level programming ability.

This project was developed in Simple Render Engine, a simple game engine developed by a PHd at ITU. Using SRE meant not having the usual visual shortcuts modern game engines provide, as well as having the full control over which type of architecture to use to handle game objects. The code was entirely written in C++, to handle physics and collision we used Box2D and to load data we used RapidJSON.

I took part in all decisions about the architecture and patterns to be used in the project, but some of my personal contribution to the codebase include:

• Handling of the game state via a Singleton Game Manager;
• Handling of game objects with a component based architecture;
• Collision detection and multiple fixtures handling for each physics component;
• Animation and movement smoothing of bullets with Box2D;
• Boss phases "AI" for spawning bullets in specific patterns;
• Object Pool to handle bullet's allocation and deallocation in a light way;
• Performance optimization and code refactoring based on memory usage profiling.

Evolutionary Platformer is a 2D vertical scrolling platformer in which you are a monk trying reach Nirvana by jumping your way up to the sky on various types of platforms, while avoiding the demons floating around and the darkness creeping up from the bottom.

This game was made in Unity as an entry for the Lvl One Jam. Originated from the theme of "Left Behind", in Evolutionary Platformer you can enter Zen Mode to stop time and edit the level by moving around any one platform or enemy, in order to save the monk from death or to make your life easier. Moreover, after each death or level completion, the monk's Karma changes and the player can select one of three options that will modify some in-game parameters like the gravity, the player speed, the number of edits per run and so on.

During this game jam I decided to work with a team of people I did not know before, and I took on many responsibilities:

• Game Designer, responsible for game mechanics and vision;
• Art Director, responsible for drawing the main sketches of all sprites;
• UI, animations and graphics randomization programmer.

Ninja2D is a small videogame project I created to learn the basics of Unity. The game is a 2D platformer developed primarily for Android, but easily portable to other platforms. In this game the player controls a ninja character in 2D linear levels with the goal of reaching the end of each one without falling from the platforms, while also facing some enemies. The player can jump, crouch, attack with a sword or shoot a fireball forward, while two of the enemies are a frog that jumps back and forth on platforms and an eagle that follows the ninja while he's within a certain range.

This videogame was entirely made by me except from the characters sprites and the background tiles, taken from royalty free assets. As a first experiment with Unity and C#, it took me approximately one week to study the basics of the game engine and to develop the actual game. Even though the concept is really simple, I plan to continue the development in the future in order to add levels and enemies and enhance the control and combat system.

Some features of Ninja2D to highlight are:

• Movement control system completely working both with mobile overlay UI and keyboard;
• Tile and scene system organized to easily build new levels without needing additional code;
• Good level of abstraction on the components and code structure;
• Fully implemented pause menu, loss menu, won level screen and end game credits;
• Attention to visual feedbacks like healthbars, camera shakes and fluid animation changes;
• Overall coherent graphic style to match the third party assets I used.

Pathfinder 2E Critical Decks website is an online transposition of the original Paizo's release of the decks for Pathfinder 2E. This tool is thought to be used during Pathfinder 2E campaigns played online, whenever a player or NPC rolls a critical hit (20) or critical fumble (1), in order to apply additional effects and make the combat more intriguing.

This project was developed in plain HTML and CSS, with a JSON file to store the various effects and some logic in JQuery to randomize the card drawn based on the parameters chosen by the users. The website has been designed entirely by me, with the objective of making it easily usable both from PC and mobile, while also keeping the original card design from Paizo and the feel of drawing a card central elements of the UI/UX. Most importantly, I categorized the effects based on effect severity, in order to allow the players to draw only appropriate effects, either avoiding the very mild or extremely nefarious ones.

The design and development of the website, including the categorization of the cards, took approximately 3 days. Some of the main highlights from this project are:

• UI/UX design aimed at recalling Paizo's decks and the immediacy of drawing cards;
• JQuery + CSS animations on deck hovering and card drawing;
• Resonsive design to allow immediacy of usage both on desktop and mobile browsers;
• Categorization of card effects on different levels of severities, to allow a finer degree of control;
• Effect list easily extendable by adding entries on a XLS sheet and converting it to JSON.
