Andromeda

Andromeda is a first-person, open-world RPG set in the vast Andromeda Galaxy. Players step into the shoes of Kendrick, a space cadet who crash-lands on an alien planet while on a dangerous mission to support his family. The game challenges players to explore and survive on the unique low poly planet. With an engaging storyline and the opportunity to upgrade spacesuits and spacecraft, Andromeda delivers an immersive experience for sci-fi and RPG enthusiasts. Its low-poly art style adds a charming aesthetic to the intergalactic adventure.

As the lead developer, I spearheaded the creation of Andromeda, taking charge of the coding and programming. I wrote all game scripts in C#, implementing advanced mechanics like GPU instancing, occlusion culling, and physics tailored for spherical planets. I integrated Unity features such as Shader Graph, Cinemachine, and the Universal Render Pipeline to optimize gameplay and visual fidelity. Beyond programming, I managed the version control system via GitHub, ensuring smooth collaboration and clean code. My leadership extended to coordinating team milestones and maintaining the project’s timeline and technical standards.

Andromeda was submitted to the prestigious SkillsUSA Interactive Game and App Design competition. Competing at the Rhode Island state level, the game achieved first place, earning the team a spot in the national competition. At the national stage, Andromeda placed 8th, standing out among entries from across the country. The recognition validated the creative and technical efforts put into the project and highlighted its ability to compete with some of the best student-made games in the nation.
