GAME DESIGNER & PROGRAMMER

LUCAS MENDRICK

I am a Game Design and Development student in Rochester, NY pursuing a game design and/or programming internship.

RECENT WORK

01

VR NARRATIVE MYSTERY

INTERNSHIP

Working in Unreal Engine with roughly 70 other students, I was tasked with creating an entirely new level with my own team for this VR mystery game. Given the flexibility to design from scratch, I thrived during this internship. Some of my contributions include a fully operational VR claw machine, as well as a "multi-perspective" system in which the player can move and rotate objects that correspond to larger copies. Be sure to check this one out, I'm super proud of it!

02

MULTIPLAYER SOCIAL PUZZLE

PERSONAL PROJECT

A fan project for a weekly YouTube web show, I made this game (with the help of a talented environmental artist) so that viewers could hang out, talk, and even watch the show itself. Hosted by VRChat, this multiplayer game was completed over the course of a summer and features a ton of interactive objects and puzzles that I programmed. Also ended up being featured on an episode of the show itself and has received thousands of views on Instagram!

AUDIO VISUALIZER

ACADEMIC PROJECT

Given an assignment to create self-steering autonomous agents, I couldn't resist taking the opportunity to make something cooler.​ By analyzing the frequencies of audio waves, I was able to take this data and use it to direct hundreds of autonomous agents.​ The result is a beautiful visualization of these waves, as the neon agents dance along to the music!
