Sharkee Games is a board game company I made with my 2 brothers where we have developed and released card and board games.

Dead Throne

Our first game, Dead Throne is a role playing game set in the world of Veles where players can collect armour and resources, trap and steal from each other. Dead Throne was released on 2 successful Kickstarter campaigns raising a combined £100,784 from 1408 backers kick starter 1 - 2018 - KickStarter 1 - 2022

Hungry Life

Hungry life is a card game designed to be played with family and friends, and to teach kids about animals as they play.
The main objective of the game is to be the first player to empty your hand and deck. There are four types of cards, primary producers and animals, which are placed in eating order. And Human Projects and Natural Events cards which when placed can wreak havoc or assist you and others. Hungry life raised £7,083 on Kickstarter with the support of 338 backers.

For my honours project I worked on "Procedural Content Generation based on Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment outputs to increase player focus".
In this project written in Godot, the player will pilot a ship travelling through space, in which the player will have to dodge asteroids, fight other spacecraft and rescue stranded astronauts.
While doing so, the game will collect the players ability score in the 3 game modes to determine the players comfortable range, if the player's ability drops then the game will change the current mode in order to increase the players interest again.

After releasing Hungry Life as a physical card game, I created a video game version in Godot and GDScript with algorithms as opponents.

My favourite project created in a hackathon was Super Tetris World, in this mix of platformer and tetris, the player has to switch to tetris mode when the platform is missing parts, and they place tetris block in the platformer world to assist them in navigating it.
Super Tetris Wolrd game

In addition to the Hungry Life and Super Tetris World video games, I have made many other smaller games, primarily in Godot, and are available on my games site.
