what I did

I was one of the two programmers on Experiment Gone Rogue, and for its first year I was the only one. I had a hand in most of the game: the core gameplay, the VR systems, shooting and weapon handling, the enemies, movement and the menus. Built in Unreal Engine 4.

the hard part

VR was young in 2018, and so was I. This was my first real job, and I jumped straight in with no professional experience, as the only programmer on the project for its first year. I learned VR development by building the game it needed.

the highlights

  • My first commercial game, shipped on Steam
  • The only programmer for its first year, one of two after that
  • Core gameplay, VR systems, weapons, enemies and movement
