A VR mech simulator inspired by the classics.
OVRLRD is my solo-developer project. Key features include cockpit-based interactions, procedurally-animated mech locomotion systems, advanced combat AI and vehicle damage models, dramatic terrain generation and rendering, an ingame custom scenario editor and Steam Workshop integration.

An award-winning LBE starring a volumetrically-captured David Attenborough, guiding visitors through a series of interactive vignettes from the natural world.
I worked on the Unity gameplay systems and a native Android SLAM tracking system to power the digital twin, which was streamed in real-time using NVIDIA CloudXR on a private 5G network provided by EE.
A full-length single-player VR game for the Meta Quest 2. Starring Indira Varma, Richard Ayoade and Sian Clifford, the player explores various biomes, cataloguing creatures and exploring the natural world using an array of animal powers.
I built out a large chunk of the gameplay logic, plus novel VR locomotion systems, reactive creature AI, design tools and a fully-featured sidekick choreography framework.
