“Dom's Island” (Early 3D Game Prototype)

This was one of my earliest 3D game prototypes, a small survival/adventure experience built to showcase my ability to create complete gameplay systems, world structure, combat, UI, and interactive storytelling inside Unity.

Goal

Demonstrate full-stack game development:

• character movement & combat

• enemy AI

• quest flow

• level progression

• UI/menus

• audio, narration, and VFX

• basic animation work

My Role

Game Developer, I was responsible for putting all of the assets together, complete scripting, as well as creating the animations and narrator audio clip

What I Delivered

Gameplay & World

• Designed a small island level using 3D assets and custom animations

• Added a narrator NPC with voiced dialogue + subtitle system

• Created a progression path from the starting beach through the island, forest, and temple

Player Systems

• Player movement, health, damage handling, and death/respawn loop

• Custom melee attack animation

• Combat logic against multiple enemy types

Enemy AI

• Golems with Idle → Walk → Attack state logic

• Trigger-based enemy spawns and music cues for encounters

Quest & Objectives

• Simple side quest involving collecting hidden items to unlock the forest gate

• Clear progression flow guiding players through narrative + gameplay beats

UI & Experience

• Main menu, HUD, health system, and pause functionality

• Sound effects, ambient audio, custom music cue timing

• VFX for attacks, hits, and environment interactions

Results

The prototype served as a complete demonstration of core game-development skills, I got a C mark for the project. It did however, act as the foundation for my future client work and more advanced systems I built later in my career.
