hi, i'm nishant
let me take you through a few of my projects.salperth
a retro-style 2d rpg
Salperth is a game about an elf in a foreign land. Developed as my final project for AGPM at UCSC.
Developed from scratch with Godot, I programmed the movement, interaction and text systems myself. Along with the retro-style pixel art textures, I also implemented a shader to give the impression of an old TV screen.

kasa

Kasa has the player jumping across platforms, floating using their umbrella. Inspired by the aesthetics of hanafuda cards, I completed the majority of the game within a 3 week time period.
I developed the movement and mechanics myself, using Godot.
