Ryan Hueckel

I am a game developer with a degree in Computer Science: Computer Game Design and two Steam released games under my belt. My favorite part about the game development process is getting to collaborate with equally passionate people to create experiences for people to enjoy. I am always on the lookout to work on new projects that take me out of my comfort zone and grow my skills.

Outside of game developement, I love playing tennis and am also a big fan of birds.

See some of the projects I have worked on below!

Ensol

About the Project:

Ensol is an isometric action-adventure game where you uncover the mystery of an artificial forest paradise that will do anything to stop you from leaving. I worked in a team of 9 people to develop this game using Unity and we ended up releasing it on Steam!

My Role:

  • Programmed and designed enemy NPCs which were implemented using behavior trees and context-based steering.
  • Worked with designers to build design documents and provide support for feature creation
  • Coded UI elements such as a settings menu, interact text, resource indicator, and interactable map

DRACOMATON

About the Project:

DRACOMATON is a fast-paced rogue-like all about swapping between different movesets to fight off enemies. I joined this project as a programmer partway through its development which required rapid learning of the game's code structure as I worked. The game was created by a team of 14 people in Unity and was released on Steam!

My Role:

  • Collaborated with artists and designers to create ~25 gameplay enhancing items.
  • Contributed to the bestiary which tracks statistics betweens runs.

Borderless is an application that allows for business to rapidly create and deploy VR experiences for use in training, education, and marketing.

My Role:
