Reggie Paredes

Henlo World! My name is Reggie Paredes. I'm currently a student at CSU, Chico, graduated in the spring of 2021. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Game Development, specializing in programming for games. I am an intermediate programmer with great problem-solving skills. Unity and C# are the main tools I use, apart from using Maya and Photoshop to create any assets when necessary. I have a few projects I have been a part of, both in and out of school.

Into the Woods - Published

"Into the Woods is a top-down, randomly generated, tile-based dungeon crawler in which players will be tasked with exploring the map to defeat the boss and find their missing master, all in a matter of 3 in-game days. Within this adventure, the players will be able to cast spells, brew potions, and collect items that will make defeating combatants and the final boss an easier mission."

Tasks:

• Created 48 different rooms for level design
• Created multiple particle effects for the different aspects of the game
• Created multiple SFX for the player as well as the boss
• Created the floor texture for the mushroom forest

Mirage - Published

"In Mirage, the player is stranded in the desert with no defenses and very little indication of location. There is no fighting back; if the player is to survive, they must navigate an open-exploration level to find their way back to the road. But the darker it gets, the more coyotes start to hunt for vulnerable prey, and should the player still be lost by the time the sun goes down, the hope of surviving the night is out of the question."
