Bounty Island

Bounty Island is a fun local multiplayer game (2 to 4 players) where the goal is to dig and bring back as many chests possible to your team's base. But beware, because you can also dig up bombs! You can also steal the other team's chests, hit them with your shovel to make them drop their chests, throw the bombs at them before they explode and push your enemies into the water.

Bounty Island was a game created for a game jam around the theme 'bounty'. With only three days at our disposal, we decided to create a multiplayer minigame loosely based on the mine sweeper game. Our main goal was for players to have fun and to find multiple game strategies: protecting your teammate while he digs a chest, following your opponents and stealing their chests at the last moment, targeting only difficult and rare chests...

Network Platformer

This was produced as part of a school project at UQAC. The goal was to improve as developers on Unreal Engine, and also to learn how to do network programming on a game engine used in the industry.

The style "Platformer" was imposed. We created two levels. The first level was used to "setup" the project with Chaos, Niagara and some gameplay programming. The second level's goal was really to use photo-realistic assets and to implement another gameplay mechanic.

In this project, apart from network programming, you will find:

Chaos Destruction (for this, we created and used a custom build derived from Unreal Engine 4.23)

Niagara particle systems

Shaders

UMG UIs

Photo-realistic assets (Paragon's Shinbi, Quixel)

Team: Dorian Antoinet, Victor Delenclos, Raphaëlle Garcia

Programmed on Unreal Engine in C++ in November 2019 and December 2019.

Beyond The Last Frontier

Beyond The Last Frontier is a survival/management game, centered around the survival of a traper in Northern Alaska. The game features a crafting system, harvesting, shopping for equipment and selling ressources, traps for animal and hunting.

The game is a school project made at UQAC using an agile approach. We also wrote a complete Game Design Document before the actual development.

I worked on core mechanics of the game, including:

Inventory

Crafting system

Harvesting ressources

HUD

Shops

Menus, title screen and save files

Programmed on Unity in C# in two months, Oct.2019 - Dec.2019.

S.A.E.C.

The SAEC Jacket (Augmented Survival in Critical Environment) is a connected jacket designed especially for workers operating in dangerous environments (firemen, soldiers, sewer workers, etc). The jacket includes different sensors (heart rate, external temperature, internal temperature, immobility, gas, GPS, etc) which warn its bearer if something is wrong (via a small basic interface on the jacket) as well as its operation manager on his PC.

The project is composed of two main pieces of equipment: the jacket (with the sensors already placed) and the programm run on the PC.

This was a school project made at EFREI in 8 months. In addition to the setup and the programming itself, we also did a market research and a grant application for the cost of the material. A showcase website was also created where a potential buyer can create a quote and order a customizable jacket (where he can choose which sensors to include).

I worked on the PC interface (programmed in Unity, C#) allowing the operation manager to see at all time where his workers are and the state of their sensors. If something is amiss, he is immediately warned through the program. I also assumed all communications tasks during the project.

Langages used: C, Java, C#

Technologies used: SCADE Suite, SCADE Display, Unity3D, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Processing...

Project completed in 8 months, Sept. 2018 - April 2019. We also won second place at the Innovation Day, a competition within EFREI regrouping the ten best projects of the year (out of 50+).

Koï-Koï

The koï-koï is a two-player japanese card game centered around making pairs and combinations. This project was a school project made at EFREI, the main directive being to create a program centered around IA. The game proposes here 4 incremental levels of IA, and two game modes: a player-vs-IA mode, and an IA-vs-IA mode. The second mode was created to showcase the level difference between the IAs.

I did the entire graphical interface from scratch, and also helped with the construction of the IA, having a good knowledge of the game.

Project completed in 2 months, Feb. 2018 - April 2018, using Unity C# (self-taught at the time).

Easy Order

Easy Order is an online application that helps running an entire restaurant. Not for a brand of restaurant, or an online command service, but for one unique real restaurant. From the arrival of the client at the restaurant to him paying for his meal, everything can be managed on the site. The client will be assigned to a table among the available ones and make an order. It will then be sent to the kitchens; the waiter will be signalled when it is ready and will bring it to the table.

Easy Order features 4 different kinds of accounts:

Clients: They can make an order, follow their progression, see the bill and specify the tip to get a final bill brought by the waiter

Waiters: They can see the tips they have received along the day, follow the progression of the orders they manage, get notified when they can bring one to the client

Cooks: They can signal they began the cooking of an order, and when they finished cooking it

Managers: They can observe the orders taken, how they progress, change the menu, assign a new client to a table and a waiter

Easy Order was a school project with the only directive being to create a website using PHP and databases. This was done as a duo with Gaspard Boutry, in twelve days (Dec. 2017). Programmed in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Ajax, MySQL, Bootstrap. The website was programmed in French and English.

Eternity

Eternity II is originally a puzzle board game composed of 256 pieces, each piece composed of 4 half-patterns that need to be next to the same half-pattern. Unlike most puzzle games representing an image or having one unique solution, Eternity has neither of them, proving itself to be a very hard puzzle with over 10 to the power 507 possible solutions. Launched in 2007, only very few people have managed to find one of the possible solutions. This program was not only an electronic version of the puzzle, but also offered an algorithm that could solve portions of the puzzle.

This program offered two modes: playing the official Eternity II puzzle (256 pieces), and playing custom smaller boards (with a chosen size and a chosen number of patterns). A player could be able to find partial solutions to Eternity II by playing on smaller boards, and could of course do it an infinite number of times via save files. A resolution algorithm was also able to solve boards going up to 100 pieces.

Novel writing

I have been writing (self-taught) fictions since the age of 14, with my main work being The Legend of Zelda: Memories, written from Nov. 2012 to Dec. 2016. The novel, based upon The Legend of Zelda franchise, proposes a rather original twist on the franchise's main lore. The novel was written in english and is 200 000 words long (300 A4 pages, ~1000 pages in standard pocket size), and is available on the website fanfiction.net since 2012. It has recently passed 11 000 views and is currently in the top 10% most reviewed Legend of Zelda fanfictions on the site (out of 32 000 stories published). The first half of the story is currently being re-written, since it was written a long time ago and the level of english contrasts too much with the second half.

Those photos are from my own personal published copy.

Drawing

I have been drawing digitally (self-taught) since the age of 14, having fallen in love with fan arts of my favourite characters and wanting to bring my ideas to life. I draw with a Wacom tablet and use Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop for my artworks. I tend to specialize myself in semi-realistic/realistic portraits.

Public speaking

During the first semester of 2017 we were asked to write a 5 minutes advocacy on the subject of our choice. The speech was first presented in front of the class, and if the teacher liked it, was then presented in front of the entire year. My speech along with 12 other pupils was selected to go to the finals, and was presented in june 2017 in front of 300+ pupils and a jury. There were 5 prizes: first, second and third prize by the jury, and two prizes by the public. I won first prize by the jury, and one of the two public prizes.

My speech was about feminism. It was not about explaining women's conditions today, but rather explaining the history behind the word 'feminism', what it meant before and what it means today. My main point was that women's conditions today in the world as definitely not as perfect as we would want them to be, and that fighting for these causes is still relevant. I also stressed on the point that men too can suffer from inequalities, and that feminism now also needs to cover those aspects as well.
