Tail as Old as Time
An exploration-driven puzzle game where you play as a curious cat uncovering the secrets of an ancient temple. True to a cat’s nature, there are no instructions or waypoints—only the world itself to guide you. Every puzzle, every hidden path, and every strange mechanism invites you to observe, experiment, and intuit your way forward.
What does that glowing symbol mean? Why does that stone shift when you step on it? Discovery is its own reward, as you slowly unravel the mystery surrounding the arcane sculpture at the heart of the temple.
This game is built to demonstrate a custom HLSL toon shader, designed to bring stylised lighting, vibrant contrast, and hand-crafted shading techniques to life in a real-time environment.
Features
- Exploration-driven gameplay—navigate the temple using curiosity and observation.
- Environmental storytelling—unravel the history behind the temple’s mysterious structures.
- Minimal UI, immersive experience—no tutorials or guidance, just you and the world.
Dialogues Through Time
Dialogues Through Time is a project I developed with a friend during the Microsoft AI Classroom Hackathon, where we secured 2nd place. I was primarily responsible for world and game design, and together we created an AI-powered narrative experience where players interact with historical figures. Through conversations, they gain insight into these figures’ philosophies and personalities—as if they were still alive.
The game follows a narrative with a clear objective: players must gather knowledge about humanity to convince a mysterious entity that civilisation is worth preserving—before it decides to erase everything.
Features
- AI-driven dialogue system allowing interaction with historical figures.
- Branching narrative based on player choices and gathered knowledge.
- Immersive storytelling that blends history with speculative fiction.
- Dynamic responses that create unique conversations in each playthrough.
This project was built using Microsoft AI technologies (Azure OpenAI & Redis) to generate responsive and engaging dialogues, offering players an experience that feels both educational and thought-provoking.
Deep Dive
Deep Dive is an underwater VR shooter developed in collaboration with a couple of friends for an endterm project. Players take on the role of a deep-sea explorer, piloting a combat submarine on a perilous journey to the center of the Earth.
Guided by an AI companion, Evie, players must manage resources, craft ammunition, repair their vessel, and battle deep-sea threats to survive the descent.
Features
- Immersive VR experience with deep-sea exploration mechanics.
- A compelling journey to the Earth’s core, filled with challenges and dangers.
- AI companion, Evie, who provides guidance, story progression, and witty banter.
- Combat and crafting mechanics, allowing players to create ammunition from various ores.
- Submarine maintenance system, where players must repair leaks and systems to prevent sinking.
So dive, dear player, at all costs…
