The Rampaging Wizard

Bryce on

In this game, you are a wizard and must defeat the undead army and destroy the boss. You can fire magic attacks to kill enemies. If you lose hp you can simply pick up a potion which will increase your hp by one. Gems can be collected by defeating enemies. If you have enough gems, then you can buy another magic attack which is activated by pressing right mouse button. The “magic” was accidentally set to persistent so you can fire more magic attacks every time you go into a new room, meaning you can defeat the boss in like 4 seconds on your first run.

Joseph Chandler Shane Bledsoe

I am a 19-year-old sophomore at Baylor University; I am majoring in computer science with a concentration on game design. I love all things video games and believe them to be the most innovative, inspiring media and the future of digital entertainment.

Career Goals

I strive to aid in the programming, scripting, character design, and development of video games. With enough time, diligence, and passion for video games, I pursue the goal of leading projects of my own that will redefine the norm of the industry, but more importantly, inspire the next generation of game developers.

Experience

My current experience comes from my courses in introductory programming and game design. I am a newcomer to the industry; however, my conviction drives towards my ambitious goals while learning all I can along the journey.

Favorite Games

I have always found this question difficult for I find many games are my “favorite” for their unique personality, intuitive gameplay, and innovations; however, these games/series encompass a multitude of positives without diluting the quality of the game:

The Elder Scrolls:(Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Online), Diablo:(2,3), Sid Meir’s Civilization: V, Monster Hunter:(Generations Ultimate & World/Iceborn), Divinity Original Sin 2, The Witcher 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Stardew Valley, Bioshock Trilogy, & Red Dead Redemption (1 & 2)

Mohsen Soltani

Hi! I’m Mohsen Soltani. I’m a Freshman majoring in Computer Science.
I’m currently exploring game design as a concentration since video games played a relatively big part in my childhood.
Here’s a few fun facts about me:

  • I was born and raised in North Carolina
  • I am from Trinity, a small town in the Piedmont area of NC
  • My first console was a Nintendo 64,
  • In my opinion, the best soft drink is Cheerwine. I’m sorry Baylor, but Dr. Pepper is a close second

Career Goals

After graduation, I would love to get a job as a game designer for Bungie.
I enjoyed playing their earlier works, such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo Reach, but their newer releases, such as Destiny and Destiny 2 were somewhat disappointing.
I want to get a chance to bring back the (guilty) spark their games once had.
Should my career in game development fail, my skills as a programmer can kickstart a career in software development or cybersecurity

Career Goals

I want to be involved with programming video games in any capacity. Engine programming, gameplay programming, graphics programming, as long as it’s programming then I want to do it.

Experience

Chillenium 2016 – Participant

Created Pacemaker (se below) in less than 48 hours in a team with with Ben Hamilton and Ben Tandy.

Ranked Hoops – Co-Founder, Administator, and Applications Developer

Co-founded and administrate a large Rocket League community dedicated to playing the side game-mode “Hoops” competitively. For this community, I created a Discord bot and backend ranking system that integrates with our weekly tournaments on smash.gg to rank participants based on their performances. It has always been our goal to convince Psyonix that Hoops deserves its own competitive game-mode, and we actually recently achieved this goal. Psyonix announced on August 9th, 2018 that they would be bringing ranked to all Sports Playlists (Rumble, Dropshot, Snow Day, and Hoops). This experience has taught me to never underestimate how much impact a community of players can have on the development and direction of a video game.

Games Created 

Archer for PC

This short game was the product of a 2 week class assignment to create a platformer in Gamemaker.

You play as the hero, Archer. Your goal is to get to the end and defeat the evil Beastmaster who has taken control of the kingdom.

Highlight Design Elements:

  • Dynamic viewport movement that shows more screen space in front of the character
  • Wide variety of enemy AI, including enemy archers that use your motion to calculate where they should shoot.

Pacemaker for PC, Android, & iOS

This game was created for Chillennium 2016. After we participated in the game jam, I thought it would be nice to polish up the game a little and release it on mobile devices.

Pacemaker is a unconventional hybrid rhythm/endless-runner game with only a single input. It’s pretty addicting.

Highlight Design Elements:

  • Smooth transition between menu and gameplay.
  • Overall sound design (seriously, wearing headphones when playing makes the game so much more immersive)
  • Shader-based dynamic vignette effect
  • Smooth graphics even at inconsistent frame rates
