Pet Da Duck 2

Unity 2D | Clicker Game 2026 | Solo Developer

2D clicker game in Unity supported by a Laravel and AWS backend to handle persistent player data and online functionality. Using a leaderboard database that tracks player usernames and high scores, creating a competitive progression system with persistent rankings. Login and registration systems that allow players to create accounts, return to existing saves, or start fresh with new progress depending on their playstyle.Save and load functionality that preserves player progress between sessions through periodic auto-saving and saving on game exit. To support this, I developed web request systems that sync player data between Unity and the Laravel backend, including score, high score, selected sprite, and score increase values.

Gameplay Developer- Designed the core gameplay loop, combat systems, and survival horror experience to define overall player feel and progression
- Implemented gameplay features in Unreal Engine Blueprints, including combat mechanics, enemy interactions, and progression systems
- Developed Behavior Tree–driven AI, enabling enemies to dynamically react to player actions and environmental stimuli
- Built an AI Perception system (sight, hearing, damage, and physical interaction) to drive responsive and emergent enemy behavior
- Created a tag-based quest, damage, and resistance system where enemy strengths and weaknesses evolve based on player discovery and combat encounters
- Implemented modular enemy systems, including dormant state activation, enemy spawners, and encounter-driven pickups
- Designed specialized AI behaviors (e.g., contextual fear responses such as enemies retreating from fire-based tools)
- Built core gameplay systems including crafting, inventory combination, and weapon creation mechanics
- Developed a Molotov weapon system featuring physics-based interaction, fire spread, damage-over-time effects, and Chaos destruction integration
- Created event-driven dialogue and quest systems for narrative progression and player guidance
- Implemented audio and feedback systems (e.g., contextual enemy death sounds) to reinforce combat impact and atmosphere

Producer- Managed version control using Diversion, ensuring consistent project alignment across programming, design, and art teams
- Assigned and tracked tasks to maintain development momentum, team accountability, and clear sprint priorities
- Maintained organized production documentation, including the GDD, development backlog, and workflow pipelines
- Served as the primary communication bridge between design and programming teams, resolving conflicts and ensuring smooth cross-discipline collaborationChallenges & Solutions- With limited time to establish the core gameplay loop due to the academic production schedule, the project required multiple design pivots as gameplay pillars were refined. Having iterated on the concept prior to production, I helped guide these transitions by clearly communicating design updates and reducing friction during task handoffs between teams
- With only two programmers on the project while also fulfilling production responsibilities, we prioritized efficient development strategies by leveraging existing systems and tutorials where appropriate. This allowed the team to focus engineering effort on customization, polish, and delivering a cohesive core gameplay experience
