Kill.exe

Overview

Kill.exe was developed during the 2024–2025 academic year with the goal of simulating a full production pipeline — from concept through to a polished, shipped build. As both a core programmer and the team's official producer, I helped drive the game from prototype to release while keeping the team on schedule.

Key features

• Fast-paced roguelike combat inspired by horde-survival mechanics.
• 13 unique active and passive items with modular implementation.
• Wave-based progression with scalable difficulty and enemy variety.
• Stylized pixel art and visual effects enhancing chaotic gameplay.

My role

I served as both a core programmer and the official producer for the team. My responsibilities included:

• Creating the modular item system, enabling scalable addition of gameplay items.
• Designing and programming all 13 passive and active items in the game.
• Establishing programming guidelines and project structure in early development.
• Implementing inventory and equipment logic to support item usage and synergies.
• Managing the team using Agile methodology and a simplified JIRA-like workflow.
• Maintaining version control with GitHub and ensuring workflow consistency.
• Collaborating with the UX designer to improve gameplay feel and feedback.

My role was officially designated and recognized within the team, and I consistently ensured we met key deadlines and production milestones.
