game jam submission / Jun 2023

Horns of Combustion is a small bullet hell game. Players can switch between two forms - an armed human (portrayed as a triangle) and a fast barrel, leaking with gasoline (portrayed as a barrel).

You must strategically switch between forms to defeat all enemies and the final boss!

Horns of Combustion can be played in the browser on the _itch.io_ and the _gamejolt_ page.

The game was created by a talented development team:

• @Nertsal - programming
• @danielpancake - graphics, programming
• @zlou_kote - music

Made in Rust with a custom engine. Source code is available on _github_

animation / Jun 2021

“Cheese” is my most-watched animation on YouTube. It’s a recreation of an animation from the short series “SHOP: A Pop Opera”, created by the immensely talented Jack Stauber.

Below are most of the assets I created for this animation. I drew everything in Aseprite using a mouse and a graphic tablet.

A piece of advice for my future self: separate the mouths from the head sprites (it will save you a lot of time!)

After finishing the faces, I filmed myself performing this little dance. I shot the video at 0.75x speed — makes the movements look smoother.

For editing, I used Magix Vegas Pro on my old laptop. I keyed out the background, tracked my head movements, composed the frames, and added the audio. The 3D text animation was created in Paint 3D.

game asset / last updated Aug 2023

An efficient method for converting GameMaker strings into character arrays.

It works by creating a buffer and copying the string into it, then reading the buffer byte by byte, encoding byte sequences into correct UTF-8 characters.

This method is much faster than the built-in string_char_at function, especially for large strings.

Also comes with a lot of helper function for working with character arrays.

It is available on _github_

command line application / 2020

spongebob-search is a command line application written in Go for searching through transcripts of Spongebob episodes from the Spongebob Wikia.

<!> NOTE: As of 2023, the application has not been tested nor updated for a long time. It may not work as expected or may not work at all.

spongebob-search uses simple full text search algorithm to search given words or phrases in the transcripts. I think, I used this article as a guide.

In terms of efficiency, it is very inefficient, as no sufficient data structures are used. But it did (at least then) get the job done. Do not expect much, as it was simply a high school project.

You can find it on _github_

android app / Apr-Jun 2020

<!> NOTE: As of 2024, the app is no longer functional due to the shibe.online API being down.

ShinyInu is an Android gallery app that shows random pictures of Shiba Inus from the shibe.online webpage. It was made as a final project for the SAMSUNG IT SCHOOL in 2020.

A few reasons why ShinyInu is amazing:

• you can use built-in gallery and image viewer
• …bookmark or save the best images
• …share! hilarious and aww-inducing images
• …get your daily dose of shiba cuteness for the good mood¹

ShinyInu’s repository is available on _github_

unfinished game / Jun-Jul 2022

I created haskell-outrun for the final project in my Functional Programming course at Innopolis University. It is a retro-style racing game with pseudo-3D graphics, inspired by the SEGA classic Outrun. The game is written in Haskell using the Gloss library for graphics and input.

In developing, I turned to Lou's Article, Max DownForce, and the original Outrun for guidance and ideas.

Features:

• Basic gameplay elements of an Outrun-style racing game
• Customizable racing track building methods
• Infinite looping race tracks
• Rolling hills and winding roads
• Static and dynamic road objects
• Game metrics like laps, time, and speed
• Sprite and sprite-based font loading

The project’s source code is available on _github_

game jam submission / Nov 2021

Gosha loves summer. He also loves his mom a lot. This summer, they went on vacation to the sunny beach. The sun shined on the screen of Gosha’s old mp3 player while he listened to the new album from his favorite singer, Dmitry Kvadrat.

“GOSHA! Can you get me a can of Coke?” his mom asked, bothering Gosha’s peace and quiet. It’s best not to argue with your mom. So off he went to fetch the soda, though he’d rather stay…

The winner of the local IGD (Innopolis GameDev) game jam, which was held at Innopolis University.

“Gosh, I Love Summer!" is available on _itch.io_

??? / 2017

Someone who looks like the devil himself appears on your computer screen. He says something is wrong with your PC and wants to help, but what’s the catch?

Cubicus DEMO is the very first game I ever made. It’s absurd and not the highest quality, but I’m still fond of it. Once it’s finished, I’ll proudly present it to the world!1!1! Although that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon…
