​Comments/Testimonials by Professionals:
“Although the gameplay concepts in this game are tried-and-tested formulas, I can see a polish in the execution. The graphics execution seems very smooth, almost equivalent to AAA quality titles. You can feel the vibrancy of the characters as they move around. The CG artstyle and colour sense are superb too. I think the team definitely seems to have achieved what they set out to do. It‟s always good to see a game completed to specs, playable, and polished up, and done within the timeframe set. Excellent effort and output!!!”

“Have you been enjoy making this game? I bet the answer has to be a "yes‟! The twist in the storyline at the end came as a pleasant surprise. The art style was consistent with the "Alice in Wonderland‟ feel and the manifestation of the theme has been well executed. Another thing that was definitely worth mentioning was the smoothness of the game! As much as players love games that are fun, they certainly welcome games that are efficiently optimized too. Two thumbs up for the effort!” - Siow Jit-Keong, TECMO KOEI

Mad Academy
Role: -
Project: Sophomore Project
Platform: PC
Time Taken: 15 Weeks
Tools Used: Flash, ActionScript3
Description:
This is a flash game developed by a team of 3 designers. This game is pretty much like lemmings where the player has no direct control over the characters. Players will have to use blocks and ramps to help guide the characters to safety.

In this project I assisted in programming the level creation system. My team decided to create a system where the program will check the play area for all the symbols and determine if they are an obstacle, character or empty space. With this system we could easily create new levels just by placing the objects into the play area.
​
I was also in charge of designing and programming all the obstacles in the game that kills the characters. I also designed the character's behavior.

Raptaron
Role: Lead Scripter / Artist
Project: Sophomore Project
Platform: PC
Time Taken: 7 Weeks
Tools Used: 3DS Max, UDK,Flash
Description:
This is a mod of the Unreal default game. It is a first person shooter with a slow motion mode and it uses a single gun with 2 modes of firing. You can upgrade your weapon by adding parts to it. Some examples of upgrades are, making your energy beam fire faster, but makes your gun over heat faster, or you make your missile launcher more powerful but fires slower.

This project was done with a team of 4 all of which are either a designer or an artist. We did not have any programmers on our team.I was the lead scripter who did the modifications to the unreal scripts for the gameplay. I also did actionscripting in flash and added the HUD into Unreal using Scaleform. I also help out in creating the turrets and drones using kismet. I was also involved in creating 3d environment assets for red alien ship levels together with a fellow designer.

This a my first project in DigiPen, I created this game with 2 programmers using the DigiPen game engine called ProjectFUN. I was in charge of the overall game design and all the artwork.
