About Me
I’m a part-time game developer with a jack-of-all-trades skill set and a real focus on player agency. I’ve been on the roblox platform for 10+ years now and have reached a point where I’d like to really start expanding into other genres and projects.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
If you’ve not been on the Developer Forum for the last few years; I’ve been slowly working away at my own game, Brutal, while continuing to work my job full-time. Through the development of Brutal, I’ve come across plenty of obstacles, plenty of bugs and have had to come up with solutions to them in order to progress.
Its meant my game has come from here;

Game: Brutal testing. - Roblox
Sporadic update playlist available here; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIlQkWyMx_dCFJi6wi8PlLXrfqV-w02MO
Currently in the new framework;
-
Lightweight entity system, easy to use, edit and add to.
-
Logic nodes, letting me easily create scripted sequences from player input.
-
Blud2, a purpose built module that lets splats and gibs appear in the world + lets me change the type of blood used on the fly
-
Custom Humanoid, this is a humanoid made from the ground up, made to work using just CFrames, but compromising with body movers. However, the code I used allowed me to adjust the speed of the character on the fly.
-
Game Time, using the system made, I can instantly change the speed that the game runs at, letting me speed the game up, slow it down, or even pause it completely.
-
Modular weapon system, I can add/edit weapons quickly and easily.
As you can see, there’s still plenty to add and plenty to work on.
I’m aiming to make brutal one of the most fun and challenging shooters on the platform.
In terms of the framework itself, I’d like to use it for a few games and then open source it to allow developers access to a tried + tested, easy to use story-game framework.
Prior to Brutal; I worked on a game called Adventure. It was planned to be a medium sized Metroid-vania style game with some changes to movement.
Game: Adventure (WIP) - Roblox
I also made a quick Crash bandicoot style platformer, the enemies in these two games actually led me to start working on Brutal.

Adventure features a climbing + swimming system that I open sourced;
