These are mods I've made for the game ARK: Survival Evolved. All are distributed on the Steam Workshop and have links provided below.
Game Mods
Platform: PC
Project Length: Multiple
Role: Solo developer
Tools: ARK SDK (UE4)
Design: These are all entirely solo projects.
Art: None of the art is original, excepting 2D graphical elements, but I moved several novel art assets through a 3DSMax>UE4 pipeline.
Scripting: All of the scripting in these mods is handled with UE4's blueprinting system. All of the scripting, including several persistent progression markers, had to account for being
used in a multiplayer game.
Party of Six (2018)
Party of Six is an overhaul expansion to the survival experience of ARK. It adds six base classes from which the player chooses one, that then level up and add abilities and unique craftables to the
player, as well as further branching class options at higher levels. The mod has a custom loot system that adds on to the base game's functionality - meaning it is flexibly incorporated with any creatures,
whether part of the mod or not. It also adds a questing system that allows players to fulfill in-game objectives for bonus rewards. See the mod at
its Steam Workshop page.

Biome Tribes (2017)
Biome Tribes is a mod that gives players a small degree of customization of their characters without greatly affecting the balance of the main game. Players can choose an affiliation with one of a number
of tribes, each of which grants a small set of perks thematically tied to one of the biomes in ARK (e.g. the coastal tribe gets swimming bonuses, whereas the desert tribe needs food and water less often). See the mod at
its Steam Workshop page.

This small mod adds a handful of new ammo types to the base game. See the mod at its Steam Workshop page.
