Currently Working On
Vanguard & Flank
- A 2D turn-based tactical RPG utilizing a custom-built ECS framework within Godot. Originally built as a class project in a single monolithic file, now being refactored into production-quality code.
- Architectural Evolution: Demonstrates transformation from legacy code (single file utilizing Lua and the Love2D framework) to a maintainable ECS pattern to decouple game state from logic, ensuring high-performance data processing and modular system design.
- Built with: Godot · GDScript · Inkscape
