Hide and Seek (2013-now)

Written in C++. Was rewritten from scratch at least once. As of 2023 uses SDL2 as the graphics library, custom ECS implementation, has external level editor, automatic tests that can play the game, and more other small nice things.

I still work on the project from time to time, mostly when I want to practice some new approach or have some ideas of technical improvements.

This prototype also branched into a project to play around with network programming: tank game.

Infinity World (2011-2013)

A first-person single-player shooter with RPG mechanics. It was developed over almost two years in a small team of students and enthusiasts passionate about developing video games who I found either online or in my hometown, while studying in university myself. Unfortunately never finished (it was much bigger than we initially anticipated).

The main feature of the game was procedurally generated interiors and exteriors of buildings and a procedural stellar map.

I worked on this game as a programmer (Unreal Script, C++) and a producer.


D1FF (2013)

A 2D puzzle game where the player had to break into electronic locks by manipulating the values of the bits in the memory of the lock device. The player could modify the bits by applying bitwise logical operations (And, Or, and Xor) to chosen memory locations.

The game had two game modes: a chain of prepackaged levels and hacking a random lock. There is also presented an interactive tutorial explaining the gameplay mechanics through a chain of levels.

You could use one of two display modes: Classic, where the player would manipulate numeric values, and modern where the player manipulates the colored blocks and the value of the bits is determined by the brightness of these blocks. Includes a level editor.

I developed the game in C++ and made a limited version in Java.


NII-2012 (2011)

First-person single-player shooter. Developed by a team of 4 people in 4 months using Unreal Engine 3.5 technology.

According to the plot, as predicted “the end of the world” in 2012 the Earth was occupied by aliens. The protagonist is a fighter of a special forces squad. Their task is to find 3 artifacts, open a portal to the alien ship and get there. Throughout the level, the player encountered difficult armed enemies of different kinds.

I participated in the development as a 3D artist and level designer. During the development, I recreated the interiors of Norilsk Industrial Institute and created many of the props.


Labels vs Radicals (2010)

My first finished game. Developed as part of a university project called “Game Pack for Delphi”. I’ve also participated in the development of two other games from this pack.

In this game, you have to run away from aggressive squares, firing them with a semiautomatic gun and planting bombs. The hero has a stock of magazines for his gun with 30 rounds of ammunition each, as well as a few bombs. You can force-reload, and all ammo in abandoned magazines will be lost. To gain better scores you need to survive as long as possible.

If a square was not killed for a long time it starts to get more aggressive and moves faster. There are several levels of difficulty which affect the speed of the enemies and the damage they deal.
