Tower Grim
This is my Senior project made on a team with Smyth Chang and the second game by Fighting Mongoose. I was the project manager while Smyth was the technical lead. Tower Grim is a dungeon crawling turn-based rpg; it is still a work in progress. Contributions on this Include: Initial Engine; Gamestate Manager; all menu and inventory systems; battle system and Art Assets.Design patterns used in this game were the factory pattern, command pattern, and singletons. This was our senior project and we got two awards for it. Special Thanks to Leonardo Ocho for 2D artwork.
Hello, My Name is Cameren Sales
This is a work in progress....
So you know my name; it's right there and to get here would be hard if you didn't know me... what else to tell you... I grew up in a small town no one's heard of called Denair, although most of the time I just say Modesto. I originally was gonna follow my step dad and become a Structural / Mechanical Contractor at his company; mostly just be a welder. One day I happened upon a flyer for Devry University and decided based on my love of video games I want to become a Video Game Programmer. I had no idea what I was in for. Never had I seen code before I started school. By the end of my first class I knew I loved programming, even if it was't used for video games. The pride of an elegant program functioning exactly as planned is.... Magnificent. One of my proudest moments was when I was building a simulation for an elevator in my first programming class. This was the first time I was using C++ and I was trying to build a sim that could add an undetermined amount of button presses for the elevator. I built a class for an array that could grow and I ended up with a managed array, which later a found out had a name already. I know this seems trivial since a managed array is pretty simple but at the time I was still learning and had a very basic understanding of C/C++. Man when I took my data structures class it was amazing. Well it seems I started to ramble hmmmm....
tl;dr I Love Programming
I'm getting back into Game development and am currently recreating my Tower Grim project, and hopefully getting a full alpha loaded.
For now I'm loading the current status of my game on the demos tab on the home page. The game current has a town with various buildings to enter, but no shopping or saving implemented yet. There's also the tower you can enter which is procedurally generated and enemies wandering the dungeon. Colliding with the enemies starts a battle, but the battle system is still in development, but you can run away with R1 and L1, or 'Q' and 'E' on the keyboard.
Check it out and i'll try and keep it up to date as a make progress on the game!
Wow. it's been a reeaaal long time since i've updated this site. Since before covid....
So much has happened not sure where to even begin. There have been soo many great games to play the last three years, FF7R released!!!!! and FFXVI was also an amazing experience! Star ocean Second Story R next month.
And that's just Square games though lol. what else did I play... Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... !!!!!!! (also Square Enix ^^)
Can't beleive it took me so long to bring this one up. I actually have the original Nier and a Japanese Nier Replicant, though i never really played thorough the japanese since translating while playing proved to difficult. I was sooo excited for this game and played it soo much! it's probably one of my all time favorite games.
Speaking of favorite games I keep seeing rankings on Final Fantasy games since XVI came out so here's my order:
1. FFIV. My all time favorite game actually.
2. FFVII and FF7R. The original and Remake are absolutly amazing. the original FFVII was the game that introduced me to the series.
3. FFIX
4. FFXVI
5. FFV
6. FFVI... HUH 5 and 6 came up in order haha
7. FFXIV. Probably my most played game on thist list and should probably be higher...
8. FFIII. NES or Pixel remaster version; was not a fan of the 3ds remake
9. FFXV I was a bit disappointed by the rushed ending; this could have been much higher on the list.
10. FFXIII. I was actually a huge fan of the new ATB system, but didn't really like the sequels
11. FF This hurts to see the original so low as it started the series
12. FFX
13. FFII I actually really liked this one. Although I was upset when I got dawn of souls and this wasn't FFII for SNES which is actually IV
These last three are the only main line games in the series I have not completed
14. FFXI
15. FFVIII
16. FFXII
Angular seems super useful, I will be re-writting my portfolio site again to incorperate some new techniques.
I was going to wait until after completing Yakuza to dive into this one... but I'm glad I took the chance.
I'm already 20 hours into it. The game has been a blast. I knew it would be good as i am already a fan of Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.
Speaking of Death Stranding, remember PT and silent Hills? I'm still bummed, but this game helps fill that void.
P.s. Aimee gets a little upset when I talk about BB, since apperrently I am more caring towards him. 🤣
