Chromalition (2020)

Chromalition is a Jet-Set-Radio inspired 3D action platformer. Skate around the city as a graffiti artist and fight against the lifeless art pushed onto the people by the corporate overlords.

My role:

Gameplay programming for movement and animations
Audio programming using Wwise

Core Features

Player Movement and Traversal

I don’t know about you, but I love flowy movement. I built and tuned the primary movement settings for Chromalition and built a bunch of the movement mechanics.

Rail Grinding

Implemented with momentum carry-over when you jump off
Aligning player to rails
Smooth entry/exit
Bi-directional movement

General Gameplay Programming

Input management with gameplay state.
Smooth animation state transitions, chaining and input buffering.
Double jumps. I love double jumps.
“Toon time” for platforms: a bit of extra time between jumping off the edge of a platform and falling, to make sure movement isn’t interrupted .

Audio Programming and Implementation using Wwise

I was the primary implementer for all audio in Chromalition: BGM, SFX, filters and mixing. The most impactful thing I added was a low-pass filter to the audio mix when players enter their “splat” form.

This muffled all the sounds in the mix while in that state, which created a bit of quiet in the fast-paced chaos of the game.
