About
I’m Rhenn, aka tzeryushi. I make games and other software.
While my primary craft is game development, I have a background in simulations, digital twins, HPC programming, 3D modeling, graphics/shaders, and so on. I have significant experience with Unreal, Unity, Godot, and Omniverse Kit, and I try to stay current with emerging tech.
My language of choice is C++, though I'm quite flexible - much of my work is done in GDScript and Python. I'm quick to learn and adapt to toolsets, and I enjoy learning about and creating new architectures.
I'm most interested in work that encourages creativity and interactive visualizations, such as games and simulations.
Games
Blessed Sheep
A frenetic top-down shooter that has you switching between 3 distinct modes for some rock-paper-scissors inspired gameplay. Originally made in 2 weeks for the Big Mode Game Jam 2023, where it ended up a finalist in the judging process.
The Filter
An atmospheric “horror” experience that takes cues from Papers, Please, where you must screen interdimensional travelers for dangerous complications. A team project I led, made in a week for the 2024 Scream TV jam with the theme of “the Screen.”
Paint the Stars
A genre-bending action/incremental game where you must grow your forest in order to protect it from falling meteors. Originally made in 48 hours for Mixjam 5, with the randomly generated prompts “art,” “druids,” and “asteroids.”
A Wizard-Casting Spell
A short action-puzzler that I made solo in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2023. I was able to get quite a bit done in a short amount of time by making some decently scaling architecture, which seemed to pay off.
Dispelling Bee
A typing game based on the gimmick of typing your enemies’ spells backwards to ‘dispel’ them. I made this game to learn Godot 3 and practice some structural design.
In Shadow
A little puzzle game I made in college about using shadows to move the player around. This was actually more of a demo to showcase an SDL engine I’d made, but I never ended up making more games with it.
