Hello! My name is Noah Cartwright and I am a Game Developer. I usually make games using unreal engine and unity which use blueprints and C++ I have worked on multiple finished games which have been both university projects. All games featured on this website are either games in progress or games which I have completed, to which I have either made or been apart of. While I have been developing games since 2020, I have always been interested in making games ever since I was little.

Backstreet Bash (Godot)

Backstreet Bash was my first group project, where I took on the role as the Lead Designer for the project. I was responsible for overseeing all the design output and ensuring the consistency across the project. I focused more on the sound and took on the role as sound designer too. I created the majority of the games audio that were under tight deadlines and produced a wide range of sound effects effectively. In addition, I designed the games level layout and contributed to major key points that shaped the overall gameplay and feel of the game.

I also worked closly with the programmers to ensure that all the code functioned properly and conducted bug testing, tracking and reported any issues that arose.

Interstellar Isles (Unity)

Interstellar Isles was the very first console (Xbox) game that I have ever created as part of a group project. This game involves a series of floating island in space, where the player must manoeuvre from island to island using a jump pad or by using their jump boost ability. However, Asteroids would come crashing down throughout the sky, making the player dodge and evade getting killed which made it harder to get to the different landmarks on the islands.

Within the game, there were three priority islands that the player had to get too in order to gain a special ability. One was a radio tower which activates a turret communication, The other island had a jump pad and the last island had a abandoned spacecraft which provided the player to regenerate health. There were also jump pads that provided easier travel around the map. Each island has a turret with a satellite, which the player must rotate the radio towers to activate. All of the floating islands could be damaged by asteroids which were falling from the sky.

The player has three different weapon choice to which they would have to find on three of the islands. which would help them shoot the asteroids to protect the island and themselves.

Throughout the project, I was in charge of helping out with the islands layout. I worked on some early concepts of how the game would work and what the world would look like once developed. However within the project I also ended up producing most of the games sounds such as a main menu, background music, in game music, three different type of weapon sounds and finally a death screen sound.

I also worked on bug reporting and extensive testing throughout the stages of our game. The game in the beginning had many bugs that needed to be reported and fixed. An example of this being the player could glitch through the islands and would not be hit by the asteroids. Another one being when stuck inside the islands you could shoot the asteroids and still earn score. An additional bug which broke the game was when picking up the auto rifle which would disable you from getting any other weapons throughout the game.

Danger Dash (Playdate PulpScript)

Danger Dash is a game I developed using Playdate's PulpScipt engine. This marks my first experience creating a game for the playdate console which requires an understanding of its scripting model language.

As a solo developer of this project I developed three levels which were built using a tile based system to where the game requires a key to unlock corresponding doors to progress. The player must avoid traps that try and put an end to the player. As the player progresses through the game, the levels progressively get harder as there are more traps and more keys that the player must collect in order to unlock the doors.

Within this game, I implemented a hazard system that includes animated laser traps that toggle between two different animations that corresponds active and inactive. Within the hazard system I additionally added spikes and bombs that would instantly eliminate the player on contact which would make the player restart the game. I managed to create and code a timer which allows the player to see how long they have been playing for. Another thing that I managed to implement was a functioning health pickup that allows the player to gain health when they have taken damage from either of the traps.

I also worked on bug testing as there were a lot of issues at the start of the game. A reoccurring issue that kept popping up was trying to figure out how to create a health bar that would allow the player to take damage and die. I managed to figure out a way to code a system where the player takes damage when going into an active trap.

Throughout this project, I have strengthened my skills and abilities to learn a different engine while having limited time to create this project due to it being a university project. Within this, I have learned how to create games for a playdate device and have learned another scripting language.
