Site Rhodes

Rhodes was an early project for the Roblox SCP Foundation focused on ARGUS, an artificial intelligence which was in charge of managing the site and its operations. The project was intended to be an immersive containment facility with a number of departments, structured floor plans, administrative areas, security systems and scripted interactions.

Rhodes looked into the possibility of setting up a facility in which advanced technology and organisational systems were closely integrated into daily operations, and ARGUS was to function as the facility's central intelligence by keeping an eye on the personnel, the containment procedures and the site infrastructure.

But the history of the project took a darker turn when ARGUS became corrupted or malfunctioned, resulting in the facility's failure. This failure then became a significant element in the project's backstory and ultimately brought about the establishment of Site - Rythos.

AFTERSTRIKE

Afterstrike is an escape game based on a narrative that takes place in a secret military research facility, in which the players control an experimental subject who is trying to get away while fighting the organisation that made them.

What makes the game stand out is the "Afterstrike": each punch produces a delayed shadow echo which repeats the attack from the player's original position. As a result, combat becomes a game involving timing, prediction, luring the opponent and moving around rather than just pressing the buttons. The present prototype has server-authoritative fists-only R6 combat, together with the ability to block, dodge, have stamina, suffer a stun, experience knockback, feature cinematic combat effects and include an objective-based escape system.

Stellaris PMC

In my capacity as a developer with a PMC/MILSIM group, I was involved in the design, development and maintenance of the group's in-game systems and the gameplay environment. My duties consisted of developing and enhancing various features, testing new content, spotting bugs and collaborating with other staff members to make sure that the updates were functional and appropriate for the community.

I also acquired experience in balancing technical development with the requirements of the players and the staff, which meant taking in feedback, troubleshooting problems, making improvements according to player experience, and assisting in keeping a consistent and immersive military environment.

The fact that I took part in the group gave me hands-on experience in working with people in leadership, the development team and the community staff.
