Blazin' Jewels

A 5-reel, 40 line, 300 credit video slot machine game with a jeweled theme, a respin bonus, symbol multipliers, and an exciting pick bonus.

On this, my sixth game title with Everi Games, in addition to my role as the sole gameplay engineer, I was very involved in the game design and aesthetic for the pick bonus behavior. I worked closely with the game artist to optimize art usage and programmatic movement to ensure the game is performant. I had a lot of fun working with the designer to get a great feel for the way the three different gears turned, jerked, and glitched.

Techniques I used for this game include tweens, splines, masks, stencils, shaders (HLSL), and 2D mesh manipulation/deformation.
