WHAT IS THE LIBRARY OF ANOMALIES?

The Library of Anomalies is a 3D story-driven horror game where you, a scientist, discover a library that exists outside of space and time. Discover places unseen by living eyes as your new "friend" The Author forces you to play his game in exchange for your freedom.

Here's an extended version of the trailer video (ABOVE) that showcases more what the game is about.

SUMMARY OF RESPONSIBILITIES

programming, game/level design, art asset creation, music/sound design, story writing, marketing & community management

I created most the art assets including illustrations, characters, trinkets, and other misc. art such as shaders, sound effects, and animations.

I crafted the marketing materials and made all of the virtual assets used for marketing the game including images, GIFs, and trailers.

I made the gameplay systems from scratch including player movement, camera movement, ray-casting, data management, dialog system, nav mesh controller, U.I., and overall gameplay management.

Optimizing 3D models LOD and performance of gameplay by constantly checking the profiler and how to game performs at target frame rates of 10, 20, 30, 60, and 900.

I do everything mostly. Gameplay programming is where my strengths are, but I wear the many hats because of scarce resources.
