My role: Lead Engine and Tools Programmer

For this project we created our own 2D engine completely from scratch using C++ (Bellum Engine), I worked on the game engine and started to learn a little bit about graphics. One of my main roles was to develop tools for the artists to use so that they could create content in an easy way.

What I did:

  • Built the entire Game Editor using ImGui completely from scratch.
  • Engine Core , Serializer and RTTI.
  • Scene Management.
  • Logic System to add behaviors to any objects in our game.
  • The Input System to detect if the user pressed, released or triggered any button/key.
  • For graphics I implemented Text Rendering, 2D Lighting, a TileMap System and the Particle System.
  • The TileMap Editor which allowed my teammates to quickly create rooms.
  • The UI System for adding buttons to a game. It supports mouse, keyboard and controllers.
