Voyage of the Dead

 This relaxing Caribbean cruise will be anything but when a horde of zombies climb aboard.  Voyage of the Dead is an action-packed zombie shooter with a quirky art style and campy sense of humor.

My Role

Technical Director / Lead Engineer

  • Helped write pitch doc for RFP
  • Wrote Technical Design doc
  • Manage group of programmers

Created Custom Hardware Plugin for UE4

I wrote a custom plugin for Unreal Engine 4 to support the MARS hardware and a unified calibration sequence that could be used for other MARS games.

Designed and Wrote Gun based Shooter on a Rail

I designed and wrote the shooter on rails gameplay and tools for designers to build rails in the UE4 editor.  This included mapping gun data to on-screen reticles and features seen in many arcade gun games.  This includes hostages, pickups, weapons, and ammo types.

Wrote the Mini-games

The mini-games were added as a last minute feature but many of the mini-games turned out to be a bunch of fun.
