Type		Turned Based Strategy Game
Engine		Godot

Techstack		Godot GDScript C++ Blender git

In order to familiarize myself with the Godot-Engine I started developing a turned based strategy game, akin to Advance Wars or Fire Emblem.

Currently development focuses mostly on creating a framework, with theme and visual identity to be defined later. As of now there is a general framework to define units, maps, attack interactions, as well as movement and turn management.

Do You? Like Me! was a dance performance conceptualized by Magdalena Hofmann, reflecting on the topic of beauty standards as represented in social media.

Combined footage from main and general rehearsals highlighting the projection and user interaction

For this performance I created an interactive app, that allowed the audience to influence the outcome of the performance. Audience members could like and dislike images posted by the performers, comment on questions and react to comments.

The audience app demo

In addition to the the audience client available on the web, which was developed in Flutter, I created the the projection visible during the performance using Unity. The server was developed in ASP.NET and hosted on Azure Cloud App Services.

LiveFrame - Interface to control the projection and some server functionality made in Unity

Working at Ravensburger, I take part in the development of mobile and desktop apps using Unity Engine. You can take a look at the app catalogue on Google Play.

In addition to named specifically below I worked on updates for the Brio Smart Tech app and the TipToi-Manager, as well as doing maintainance work on legacy apps such as Scotland Yard Master or Take it Easy.

One project I am especially proud of is the Gravitrax app, which allows the user to build marble tracks and simulate the runs to a great degree of realism to plan out their physical tracks.

For this app I integrated new pieces into the system, some of which required animation and scripting, while others allowed me to practice my 3d modelling skills for non-visual meshes. As with most apps I also participated in general product maintainance.

The Brio Smart Tech app is another companion app to a physical toy. Here children can control their toy trains and record custom sounds for their train stations and tunnels.

For this app I got the opportunity to implement some custom audio effects that are applied for specific tunnels, which was a interesting diversion from business a usual.

Last but not least, the Puzzle World is one app I joined during an early state of development. Here I did frontend work using Unity's UI system.

Type		University Project for "Introduction to Games-Engineering"

Spacestation Laika was our project for the "Introduction to Games-Engineering" course during the first semester at TUM.

It's a platforming first person shooter with bullet-time and time-reversal mechanic. Set on a retro-futuristic space station, the player has to fight of robots and collect keys to exit the level.

My contribution included the modelling of the assets and level, and the implementation of the gameplay logic. The level design was done by Lukas, while Samuel implemented the character controller. The GUI was done by Alexander.

Type		University Project for a practical course on tsunami simulation

TsunamiViewer is a project I created for a practical course on Tsunami Simulation, that allows the visualization of tsunami data provided in NetCDF fromat on a globe model. The viewer was implemented using OpenGL. Olga and Maximilian created the tsunami simulation software providing the data to the viewer.

"Settlers of Sogamingen" was our project for the "Social Gaming" practical course. In line with the problem statement we created a city-building strategy game that allows player to create settlements in the real world.

When other players settlements are discovered while exploring, trades can be initiated and players can set up constant trade routes. To add a mobile context, the environment in the city building part of the game is based on the surounding area, by transforming the map image into a tilemap.

For this game I created the client-side netcode, the map overview using MapBox SDK as well as the trade screen UI. Samuel worked on the server, while Lisa and Lukas created the city building part of the game.

Special thanks goes to Severin Heller and Jana Zwillsperger for creating the assets for the game.

Bavaria One was our project for the Semester GameJam during the winter semester 2018/2019.

Satirizing comments made by bavarian prime minister Markus Söder to strengthen bavarias involvement in space exploration at the time, it allows players to settle on mars and build a truly bavarian project: the third Stammstrecke. In addition to the basic gameplay of building cities and connecting subway lines, it notably features a bavarian city name generator with great results such as "Neu-Überunterhopfenbach".

While the game failed to win any prices, it was given an newly created unoffical title of "Funniest Game" by the jury.

Thesis		"Gameplay Analysis of Competitive Games to Support the Game Design Process"
Techstack		C# Unity Blender git

Smart Scene is a Unity package for the analysis of scene geometries created for my Bachelors Thesis.

The package allows the generation of a uniformly sampled grid mesh structure of the walkable area of any Unity scene, deduced from the Unity NavMesh.

On top of this structure a number of evaluation tools were implemented, notably evaluating the visibility between arbitrary map areas using a Monte Carlo approach, and the distances from the spawn points of two teams. These tools were implemented to fit Counter-Strike type gameplay, the basic package however can be used to implement analysis tool for a large variety of games.
