Games
Cybernetic Warfare is a 3D multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS) game developed using Unity and Photon PUN. The game is designed for competitive play, supporting up to 8 players per room in a dynamic deathmatch mode. Players engage in combat across three randomly cycled maps, utilizing a range of three distinct weapons: a pistol, a machine gun, and a rifle. Each weapon offers unique damage stats and features an overheat system instead of traditional reloading. Players also benefit from an aim-down-sights (ADS) mechanic for more accurate shooting and receive notifications on player kills to enhance competitive interaction.

My Development Journey
In developing Cybernetic Warfare, I gained extensive experience in various aspects of multiplayer game design and programming. Working with Photon PUN, I enhanced my skills in creating seamless multiplayer experiences, handling player synchronization, and managing game state across different clients. Developing a unique weapon overheat system allowed me to refine my understanding of game mechanics and player feedback loops. I also implemented dynamic map rotation, which improved my ability to design engaging and varied gameplay environments. By integrating real-time user feedback systems, such as kill notifications and an aim-down-sights (ADS) mechanic, I strengthened my skills in delivering immersive and responsive game experiences. This project has deepened my expertise in Unity and multiplayer game development, providing practical experience in designing and optimizing engaging FPS games.
