Hypoxia is a survival-horror virtual reality game designed for the HTC Vive. The game was designed to be played while wearing a custom helmet made for the Vive and fitted with biometric sensors. The player explores and tries to escape an underwater laboratory while avoiding the supernatural being that has taken residense in the labs. Hypoxia aims to elevate the level of immersion in VR games by having a physical helmet to limit player mobility and biometrics to drive the gameplay experience based on the players current physical state.

Hypoxia was developed by a six-person team. My contributions to the project are the following:

• Implementing a system occlude audio and refract the sounds around obstacles in the environment
• Implementing microphone detection to utilize voice as a gameplay mechanic
• Implementing voice activated objects
• Designing and implementing puzzle element
• Redesigning item throwing and handling mechanic
• Implementing static interactive objects such as levers and cranks
• Fixing various bugs that appeared during development

Picario is a proof of concept project demonstrating the possibility of large multiplayer games on the lua-based pico-8 platform. Picario is a simple recreation of the popular browser-based game Agar.io for the purpose of demonstrating the networking library we developed. The Pico-8 platform has very strict limitations on memory and processing power so the library attempts to offload most of the networking load to an external server. Using the Pico-8's ability to interact with the javascript of the webpage and a simple websocket python server, Picario manages to create a multiplayer game that supports up to 50 concurrent players.

Picario was developed by a four-person team. My contributions to the project are the following:

• Designing and developing the libraries to streamline the process of passing data between the pico-8 engine and the external javascript
• Developing the recreation of Agar.io within pico-8
