Wiretap

Wiretap is a version of the classic “Flow” style game. I was responsible for making it playable in Deepcover. As it was one of our mainline minigames it needed to have the ability to work in endless mode, so I also created a system that could reliably generate new boards to prevent the need of creating hundreds of boards by hand.

Decoding

Decoding is a version of the well known NYT “Wordle”. For the most part, I made this as standard as it gets, but there was one change we wanted to make (outside of powerups/hints). Since we were going to be allowing players to come back and play a single level multiple times, we made each level randomly pick from a small set of words that were defined by the seed of the level.

Crypto-Grams

Crypto-Grams is a simple fill-in-the-blank type minigame. Crypto-Grams does not show up in the normal level lists, instead, it acts as a daily challenge. Providing an extra reason to come back to the game more consistently.

Deepfakes

Deepfakes was a new minigame that I built that has the player put together a fragmented image. Since predefining every puzzle piece would take a lot of time, I opted to make the game generate the piece shapes at runtime.

Leaderboard

I integrated the platform specific leaderboards into the game with three leaderboard catagories, complete with filters.

Bulletin Board

Our client wanted a way to post effectively new letters to the game so I created the bulletin board system. This system allows the client to post "Bulletins" complete with thumbnail, title, author, post data, and text content with markdown and insertable image support. Sadly as of writing this the client has yet to post any bulletins of their own to the board.

• Optimized internal framework systems for some older devices.
• Created the base minigame class structure for quick minigame integration.
• Created tools for faster configuration/generation of certain internal assets.
• Created the saving system, and collaborated on integrating cloud sync.
• Designed the initial version of our adaptive difficulty system, a system that dynamically changed the difficulty of a level based off the apparent skill of the player on that game type.
