My old Bachelor's Degree End Project from 2013. Engine and particle systems written from scratch, using Javascript and WebGL. Particle systems are dynamically affected by 3D force vectors (point attractor and repellers, 3D force lattices). Editor runs in real time inside a web browser. Attached video is a light-hearted showcase of the editor.

Unity
A game about gameplay automation – a yet untold story of the lessons learned after a head-first dive into the adventure of single-handedly making a completely original game from scratch. All assets, logic, gameplay, shaders and UI designed and made from scratch with and despite of Unity.
