Samsara

Engine/language: Unreal Engine 4, C++, Blueprint
Development time: 4 months in a team of 5
Roles: Gameplay Programmer and Designer

Samsara is an original IP game owned by Infinity27 Design Studios.

I participated in the game development competition Tranzfuser 2020, organised by the UK Games Fund, where I developed a prototype for the game. Samsara is an action-RPG inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead where the core gameplay mechanic is reincarnation based on karma.

​

Design: I wrote the story of the prototype, designed the lead characters and proposed new gameplay elements such as the transforming weapons that take a different shape based on the attack range. I also helped implement the combat system including dodging, quick and heavy attacks, weapon hit boxes and sound effects.

​

Programming: I worked primarily on the movement system of the player character and created a climbing system including both the game logic and animation setup.  I worked closely with the team's character artist and performed 3D model and rig checks in the engine, and became familiar with the UE4 animation pipeline.

​

The game is still in development and is expected to be released in 2022.
