W.A.V.E.S. (Waffles Are Very Evil Species)

Solo-developed 3D top-down shooter built for a game jam under strict time constraints. The theme was 'WAVES', turned into the acronym Waffles Are Very Evil Species. Players survive endless waves of killer waffles across a map with one ammo box and one health box — find them or die. Engineered all gameplay systems in C# including NavMesh-based enemy AI, progressive wave spawning, and dynamic combat. Created the main character, enemies, and pickups from scratch in 3D — a personal challenge as a software engineer stepping into art. Controls: WASD to move, mouse to aim and shoot, R to reload. Finishing this solo within the deadline was a meaningful personal achievement.
