iCO₂

From 2011 to 2013, together with my master's degree, I worked on iCO₂, a multi-user eco-driving game developed in Unity3D, with C# .NET. It is available on Facebook and for iOS, and it was later brought to one of the world's largest digital interactive learning and display spaces, "The Cube", in Brisbane, Australia (see video). 
I was in the project since the beginning and accumulated the roles of project manager and lead developer. Concretely, my work included (among others):
  • System integration: making the various components of the project work together
  • Gameplay programming: Including ranking functionality, passenger pickup/drop-off, power-ups, camera systems.
  • Multiplatform deployment: development of Unity Facebook plugin for iOS, integration of iOS and webplayer versions
  • Artificial Intelligence: Opponents (traffic light and AI cars) coordination for real-time challenge balancing (the link to my research)

VTEAM


A one-year project to build a serious simulation game for training project managers, in XNA, with C# .NET. Interestingly, in order to use a certain business rule engine to run the behavior of the virtual characters, the game was developed in mixed Java/.NET environment (we wrote a paper on that!).

I was responsible for the modeling of the AI characters, design and development of integration between .NET and Java environments. Also worked in UI programming and testing.
