Hey there, I’m Ethan!

I'm a game developer and passionate programmer with many years of experience working and experimenting in all domains related to game development! Programming and game development have always fascinated me, so it's only fitting I made it my career.

I love to work on passion projects and experiment with the unique abilities of the art form, focusing on creating engaging experiences for everyone! A lot of my experience with game development has been programming focused, but I always enjoy experimenting with the artistic domains such as art and music creation to see what I can come up with.

My Previous Work

I have worked on a lot of projects professionally and personally over the past decade. Here are some of my favorites!

Wander Vyrosa

  • A character traveling through the stars to the next galaxy

Wander Vyrosa is a rogue-lite tower defense game set on fully traversable planets. Inspired by games such as Super Mario Galaxy and Bloons TD, this project started as a game jam game titled Untitled Space Game. Wander Vyrosa was built in the open-source Godot Game engine using C# and GDScript by a small team and published on Steam in March 2023.

Roles: Gameplay Programmer, Systems Programmer, 2D/3D Artist, Producer, Audio Designer/Engineer

Grill Daddy

Grill Daddy is another game jam project I worked on with some friends over the course of the weekend for the 2022 ROC Game Dev Summer game jam. This game was an awesome experience to make, and it was a great test of my programming abilities. This was also built in the Godot Game engine using C# and GDScript.

Roles: Gameplay and Physics Programmer, 2D/3D Artist

Chicken Chaser

Chicken Chaser is a game I made from scratch as part of a foundations of graphics programming course during college. The game was built from scratch in C++ using a custom DirectX 11 rendering engine with support for PBR materials, and the React3D Physics engine. This project was especially helpful to learn how low-level 3D rendering and lighting systems work, as well as challenging my C++ programming skills.

Animal Crossing Creature Tracker

This project was developed for an interactive media development course that allows users to track the creatures they’ve caught in the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I am a huge fan of the Animal Crossing series, so a web utility application in vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript seemed like a great fit.
