It is being developed as the final project for the Master in Game Development in the “Universidad Complutense de Madrid”, with three other students, and some external collaborators that are working in graphics. I am in charge of developing the level editor of the game, the dynamic loading/unloading for graphics and physics, the HUD, and some other duties.

End of Degree Project (based on Wiimote)

Date: 2008 (last course in Computer Engineering)

Description: Based on Johnny Chung Lee’s Wiimote experiments, I’ve developed a few programs for my End of Degree Project based on the Wiimote, connecting it to a PC via bluetooth. Among others, I coded applications to communicate with home automation devices (domotics) using the user’s gestures, another one to draw by gestures, and another to use it as an interface with other applications (mapping user gestures with keyboard keys). You can obtain further details and videos in this post or read the project’s documentation here.

Platform: PC

Technology: C# .NET

Arcade cabinet

I’ve always loved videogames and the arcades, so I looked for a typical 80/90’s bar arcade cabinet for playing arcade classics on it, using both a PC running emulators and in it’s original system (SNK’s NeoGeo and Sega’s ST-V)

During the most famous retro-event in Spain (RetroMadrid) and through the AUMAP association, I gave a talk about how to obtain and prepare an arcade cabinet for home. The PDF file containing the slides can be downloaded from here and you can also watch the talk in Youtube.

Deception Castle

Web and download: globalgamejam

Video: YouTube

Date: January 2010

Description:Developed in one weekend in the last Global Game Jam (29-31 January 2010), Deception Castle is a platform game in which the player must obtain a key to open a door and finish the level. But the levels are full of dangers: platforms with knives, evil monkeys dressed up as keys…

Development team: Enrique Alcor Martín (programming and audio), David Cano (graphics), Miguel Galle Hervás (design), Adrián Domínguez (programmer)

Platform: PC / Xbox 360

Technology: XNA 3.1 (C#)

Ilicius’ Stomach Ache

Date: August 2009

Description: Developed during the first 3 days of the 2009 “Campus Party” (27th July to 2nd August) for the quick game development competition. It is a puzzle game, similar to Puzzle Booble but instead of throwing bubbles away, you have to collect them as they are falling down the screen. In order to do this, and using a 360 pad, the player must rotate the character’s head to both sides and collect the bubbles with the pad button which has the same color. There are also a few powerups to make things easier.

Development team: Enrique Alcor Martín (programming), Miguel Gómez Otero (graphics), Eduardo Millán (design, production)

Platforms: PC and Xbox 360

Technology: XNA 3.0 (C#)
