Project Hemorrhage Jan. - April 2026

Combat Design in Unreal Engine 5

This is a vertical slice of an action game I'm creating in a team of five other developers inspired by the combat of the Darksiders, God of War, and STAR WARS Jedi games. You play as a vampire, roused from their slumber by an invading force, who carves their way toward the spire where the enemy commander directs his assault on your domain.

Battle of Britain Simulator Nov. 2025

Systems Design in Google Sheets

This aerial dogfighting simulator is a balancing tool for a hypothetical WWII game, based on the Battle of Britain. This tool allows a developer to input sets of stats for two planes, then simulate the outcome of 3 common aerial engagement patterns.

Feel free to make a copy of the sheet and try it out for yourself.

Pokémon Damage Calculator Sept. 2025

Systems Design in Google Sheets

This damage calculator was one of my forays into game systems modeling in spreadsheets. It uses the damage formula for the Gen 5+ Pokémon games, which can be found here, and allows you to calculate the outcome of a wide variety of Pokémon, stat, move, and condition combinations.

Feel free to make a copy of the sheet and try it out for yourself.
