JustSpirit.dev
JustSpirit.dev is the very website you are reading this on. I always wanted to do a website portfolio/cv instead of some boring pdf. However, as I went through all the work of setting up this website (including squashing some annoying and confusing bugs), I don't plan to limit myself to a portfolio. I plan on using this site for anything I want, and currently that culminates in blogs and reviews. However, I'm also in the middle of a game jam, so that takes priority.

Repacking - Ludum Dare 54
Repacking is an important game jam to me, as it's the first one I entered with someone who is also interested in pursuing games and not just someone I pulled into doing it with me, Shane. It's important for other reasons as well however, such as being my first game jam since entering college and learning Unreal Engine 5, and it was the first one that has any level of presentability to it. That being said, there isn't much to present, as we ended up backing out of the competition upon realising we wouldn't be able to complete our game in the designated time or to the standard we wanted to aim for. It was key in helping us realise where our flaws were, ones we may never have encountered by never doing any work outside of college.
The game itself centred around the player, whose job it was to pack boxes. At the start of the game, the player would be shown all the items they had to pack and would select the number and size of the boxes they would need to pack all the items. By doing so, the player would limit their space (adhering to the theme of limited space) and would be penalised for any remaining items that they were unable to pack.

High Noon
High Noon was the accumulation of one of the final assignments we got during our first year of college. We were paired up into teams of three or four, given a few pitches, and just had to run with them. Alongside Shane, Elliott, and Isaac, I learned what it truly meant to plan a game, an experience that continues to assist me to this day.
In all honesty, I would happily talk anyone's ear off about the entire experience surrounding High Noon. Instead, you can find my final evaluation of the assignment here, as well as all the files, presentations, and documents we created below.

Newcastle College's Christmas Card Catalog 2022
Early into my first year of college, me and five other students got together in order to create a website for the annual Christmas card competition hosted by Newcastle College. In this, I took charge and led the group, assigning roles and tasks that suited each individual, as well as coding the site along with three others.

Rocket League Battle Cards Stream Assistant
I'm still genuinely surprised at the quality of my first ever website, and although there are many improvements that could be made (such as using a CSS and JavaScript file instead of doing all of it in HTML), I'm still pretty happy with it. Not only was it my first foray into website development, but it's likely the first project I ever finished. Made as an easy way to run and display a card game created by a streamer friend of mine, it's a great piece to show how far I've come in a relatively short amount of time.
