RetroRealms

​

RetroRealms is the fourth project I worked on with WayForward. My first task on this project was to implement its third and fourth playable characters, Kelly Maxwell and Laurie Strode. This was the first time I was able to work on developing player characters at WayForward, let alone being the main programmer behind them. This alone makes this a stand-out project for my time at WayForward. Beyond the player characters, I also spent some time developing the 3D hub environment. In particular, I set up the unlock sequence and interactivity of the memorabilia cases you can unlock with collectables from playing the game. Other than that, it was the usual hodge-podge of fixing bugs in pretty much every part of the game and hooking up the in-game achievements. This also has the distinction of being the first M rated title I've worked on.

RetroRealms is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, and XBox One and Series X/S. You can learn more on the game's official page here.
