  Paris, Île-de-France, France I worked with a team of 7 people on a PC horror game called "Hush", released on itch.io. "Hush" is a short 3D horror game made in Unreal Engine 5.1 using blueprints. I initially began the project as the lead programmer since the two other programmers wanted someone to lead them and give directions for the work pipeline. As time went on, I ended up leading, coordinating and validating the work of the artists, designers and programmers while keeping an eye on the schedule & dead lines… Show more I worked with a team of 7 people on a PC horror game called "Hush", released on itch.io.

As time went on, I ended up leading, coordinating and validating the work of the artists, designers and programmers while keeping an eye on the schedule & dead lines to provide a polished game for our final presentation. I was responsible for the following: • Coordinating the whole team and validating the work made while keeping an eye on our schedule. • Coding the player movement system while trying to make it as reponsive as possible to allow a smooth experience when needing to explore/escape. • Designing and coding the user interface, including menus and in-game HUD. • Creating and implementing a save system to register the game's customizable options.
