This was the fourth and final released project for AIWarehouse that I worked on. While the majority of the work was done between Soccer and Red Light Green Light, it was released last. It was another project where a lot of creative freedom and design decisions were delegated to me, and it was the first project where I was entirely responsible for gathering of all footage.

Unfortunately, this ended up being the last video created for AIWarehouse. While other projects were in various stages of development, the company ultimately wasn’t profitable enough to continue and was shut down following the release of this video.

I really enjoyed my time at AIWarehouse, and I learned a lot about working in a game development team. It gave me a strong foundation working around reinforcement learning workflows and production constraints.

Contributions

• Built AI training environments.
• Animated sponsor segment & intro.
• Implemented win scenario and end sequence.
• Built a custom camera system to record multiple angles with smooth dolly movement.
• Created a hurdle-height randomizer tool to improve training variety.
• Implemented sound effects for agent actions and environmental triggers.
• Adapted camera follow logic for non-camera objects to smoothly follow the lead agent.
• Worked alongside AI developers, lead developer, and producers to keep scope on track.
• Recorded and iterated on gameplay footage multiple times to capture the most interesting behaviors.

The third released project for AIWarehouse that I contributed to. This project was more complex than the previous one, expanding on the new elements introduced earlier and adding additional responsibilities for me. It was the first project where I had meaningful ownership over aesthetic direction and several major design decisions.

Contributions

• Built AI training environments.
• Animated narrative sections & sponsor segment.
• Implemented a random spawning system to vary initial agent states for training.
• Built agent bodies.
• Created small tools (smooth floor shrinking, agent kill floor, fatigue color visualization, etc.).
• Implemented win scenarios for both the training section and final showdown.
• Recorded all footage for the final showdown.
• Worked alongside AI developers, lead developer, and producers to keep the project on track.

The second project for AIWarehouse that I worked on that was released to the public. This project was more complex than the first, incorporating narrative elements, animations, and more complex game mechanics.

Contributions

• Built AI training environments.
• Animated narrative sections & sponsor segment.
• Implemented a room-end sequencer system for cleaner, customizable game end sequences.
• Implemented sound effects for agent actions and environmental triggers.
• Worked alongside AI developers, lead developer, and producers to keep the project on track.

The first project for AIWarehouse that I worked on that was released to the public. I learned a lot about working in a team environment across disciplines, and gained a lot of passive knowledge about reinforcement learning workflows and AI systems.

Contributions

• Built environments.
• Built a reward tracker UI to display current learning reward for each agent (from the agent blackboard).
• Coded win scenarios / game-end implementations for each room.
• Animated sponsor section.
• Implemented sound effects for agent actions and environmental triggers.
• Implemented hurt animations for agents when colliding with walls or being hit by the ball.

Below is a general list of contributions I made to various cancelled and unreleased projects at AIWarehouse.

Contributions

• Built AI training environments for 3 unreleased videos.
• Built AI Agent Bodies for 2 unreleased videos.
• Built UI Graph System To Chart AI Agent Performance Over Time (Reward Graph).
• Fix most materials, lighting, recreate shaders, and more to ensure clean visual transition from Old Built-In Render Pipeline to New Universal Render Pipeline
• Reworked intro system to facilitate support of various Agent body types.
• Created and Implemented UI for AI Warehouse Agent Simulator

This prototype explores responsive third-person controls, lock-on targeting, and mounted traversal in a Soulslike-inspired setup. The work focused on animation-driven movement, state handling, and camera behavior that keeps combat readable and satisfying.

Main menu built for a now-shelved Vampire Survivors-inspired project. I handled the shader work, parallax layers, subtle camera motion, and UI animation to make the menu feel alive and match the high-energy arcade tone of the game.

Game jam entry for Curse of the Thinky Jam. I focused on building a strong sense of place with layered lighting, character posing, and UI framing that supports slow, thoughtful play. It's an aesthetic I really liked and would love to expand on later.

A collection of shots from Cosmic Golf showcasing environment art passes, ball trails, and UI, plus in-progress level editing tools. The focus was on keeping iteration fast for designers while preserving a clean, readable presentation during play.

UI work and cleanup for the student project "Murder At Hollowstone Manor". This included layout passes, typography tweaks, and feedback cues to better support clue tracking, dialogue, and overall readability during investigations.

UI work from the Game Maker's Toolkit Jam 2024 entry "Sender: Arbitration". I focused on dialogue layout, choice presentation, and subtle motion to keep the screen readable while still feeling atmospheric and moody.

A solo-developed FPS roguelike prototype. I handled level design, moment-to-moment combat, SFX, animation, and procedural animation on the spider boss. The goal was to explore how far I could push a tightly scoped first-person combat loop on my own.
