Keamu Hill

Tumult

A fast-paced local-multiplayer arena-combat game built using Cauda Engine. Players engage in chaotic battles across dynamic arenas, utilizing the engine's advanced rendering and physics systems for smooth, responsive gameplay.

• Local multiplayer arena combat
• Physics based character controller with sphere-cast suspension system for smooth traversal
• Custom rope physics for grappling mechanics
• Advanced spline based aim-assist and multi target aquisition
• Native-scripting environment with reflection, collision callbacks, and ECS hooks

Cauda Engine

A custom 3D game engine developed in 4.5 months, built from the ground up with C++ and modern low-level libraries. Features a powerful deferred rendering pipeline with advanced graphics techniques and robust physics simulation.

• Flecs ECS architecture
• Jolt Physics integration
• ImGui editor interface
• Ozz Animation for skeletal animation
• Robust level-editor with Prefab support and an extensive list of ECS components
• Custom OpenGL deferred renderer with PBR materials and lighting
• Ray-marched point and spot light shadows
• Instanced Shell texturing for added surface detail
• Indirect instancing with multithreaded batch collection
• SSAO and dual Kawase bloom
• Pixel-perfect render snapping with lighting-aware single-pixel edge highlights and outlines
• Shader interaction volumes and stencil occlusion highlighting
• Exponential height fog
• Volumetric cloud rendering using custom Perlin-Worley noise with SDF primitives and fixed-step raymarching
• Catmull-Rom procedural rope rendering

Raymarched Voxel Engine

Real-time voxel rendering/simulation engine using adaptive raymarching techniques for efficient traversal and rendering

• GPU-accelerated raymarching
• Efficient brickmap based storage
• Advanced 3D cellular-automata simulation with physics integration
• Dynamic lighting, reflections, ambient-occlusion, and shadows
