Who am I?
My name is Regan, I have just recently graduated from Staffordshire University with a degree in Computer Games Development, looking to gain some experience in the games industry.
What Am I Currently Working On?
I am currently working on my brand new project, Death's Door, a top-down, action RPG filled with melee combat fun. I have recently published the demo onto itch and am actively testing and acquiring feedback. If you'd like to help out
or even just play my demo then you can do so here:
My Love For Games
My passion for video games began when I was very young and first played World of Warcraft. I was mesmerised by how a world that isn't even real could be so vast, and contain so much depth (most of it I never actually explored for multiple years since I kept creating new characters before I'd hit level 20).
League of Legends was another big inspiration for me, mainly for the complete opposite reason of my fascination for World of Warcraft. The map was small, and the same every game, yet people play thousands and thousands of games without getting bored? (me). I was so impressed by how a game could be so simple, yet so complex at the same time. My competitive nature was also a big factor in my love for League of Legends, as I loved the idea of practicing my skills, then having something to show for it.
Video games have also played a huge role in shaping some of my closest friendships. The social aspect of gaming has heavily inspired me to create games, because I want to create places for people to build friendships, and share experiences together. Up until recently gaming was considered a very antisocial hobby, and I'd like to contribute towards changing that common misconception.
AFK
When I'm not on my computer, I like to keep active by going to the gym, playing basketball, and going to concerts. Music is a big part of my life, it helps me focus and keeps me in that flow state. Some of my favourite artists are The Backseat Lovers, Fontaines D.C, and Wunderhorse.

Death's Door (September 2024 - Present)
Death's Door is a top-down action RPG in which you are a soldier, stuck between life and death, searching for an end to the on-going war between the people of Thedas and the skeleton army of Rood. Discover the true nature behind the fight, and defeat anything that stands in your way. This is my most recent creation that I am currently working on. It is a top-down soulslike game developed in Unity. The demo has currently been released on Itch, so if you'd like to test it out then you can do so here:
Some of the main features include:
- Fully Fledged Player Controller - Uses a player state manager to ensure only one action can be performed at a time. Also contains an attack combination system as well as special abilities to fight in your own style.
- Flexible Enemy State Machine - Contains a state machine system, allowing me to create multiple different idle's, attack's and chase states, and combine each simply by just dragging and dropping to create hundreds of different combinations, ensuring each enemy has its own unique behaviour.
- Interactables and Dialogue System - An interactable's system allowing the player to interact with certain objects throughout the game like puzzle switches, doors and NPC's. This includes a fully implemented dialogue system allowing the player to learn more about the world they are exploring.
- Upgrade and Currency System - A system that allows players to collect souls by killing enemies, and exploring, which can then be spent on upgrading the player character.
- Save and Load System - Players can rest at checkpoints in order to save their progress, meaning they can pick up and play whenever they like, without having to worry about losing their progress.
- Dynamic Character Customiser - Players are able to create their own character, adventuring in style, with over 100,000 different combinations.






1ManArmy (April 2024 - May 2024)
1ManArmy is a mobile game developed on the Unity engine, for iOS. It is a top down, hit and run type dungeon crawler, where the player must kill enemies, upgrade their character, and defeat bosses. I created this game for one of my third year modules at university. It lacks some polish, due to the short time constraint, but it was a valuable step in development for me as it taught me so many things. Some of the notable features in the game include:
- XP and Upgrade System - through the implementation of Scriptable Objects
- Enemy spawner - includes difficulty progression mechanics
- Boss fight - includes different phases made using State Machnines in the Unity Animator
- Daily Lives and Currency System - allows player to spend these on new skins
- Perfectly scalable UI - can fit any iPad or mobile device
- Mobile Friendly Controls - requires just one finger to play
- Decoupled using C# events
This project was my first mobile project and came with many lessons. If you would like to read my critical reflection report I made after developing the game then please click below:

I also made a short game trailer for my project, something I have very little experience in but if you would like to see some gameplay then please take a look:

DISCLAIMER: I did not make any of the assets, sounds or animations in this project, all were obtained through the unity marketplace, mixamo, and various free sound websites. If you would like to know more about this project then please dont hesitate to contact me.
Highway Code (April 2024 - May 2024)
During my final semester I took part in a group project, where we had to develop a game from scratch. We made Highway Code, a local co-op chaotic driving game where the players must drop off more packages than the other player to win. I was mainly responsible for implementing a flexible and functioning split-screen system, the shared and individual UI's for each player, and the contraband package system, which is expalined in more detail below. Here is a short trailer:

This was my first time developing a game in a large group, and it taught me alot:
- Version Control - within a large group project
- Rapid Prototyping - to demonstrate at our pitches for our game ideas
- Unreal Engine - Implementing Split-screen and detailed systems
- Technical Design - The importance of a technical design document
