A game developed with a team of 6 and alongside the professor of the Child and Youth Care program at Sheridan College. The game sets out to teach a breathing technique to the player in order to combat the onset of a panic/anxiety attack. The breathing technqiue was research and then gamified into a mechanic that is engaging, thoughtful, and easy to pick up that a child can learn how to perform it themselves.

You follow Ace who undertakes the journey to overcome their anxiety alongside their buddy Zen who guides them on this adventure.

A game developed during my third year at Sheridan College in a team of 4. The group performed research on the housing crisis happening in Ontario and created a game from the perspective of a college student living in the midst of this crisis and showing their struggles.

A project created as part of an asset creation class with some programming aspects. I modelled a weapon and an attachment and created a scene that allows you switch equip/unequip attachments and change the paint colour all within UE Widget system. Myself and other students collaborated by sharing FBX files of our weapons and attachments and including them in our project for more variety.

A project created for a level design class at Sheridan College. The goal was to create an level inspired by a game. As a fan of early Metroid games I decided to create a small metroidvania-like project that has the player collecting powers to continue their path forward. The project contains AI, hazards, and the ability to switch modes on the weapon.

Hi! I'm Humberto Benitez! I enjoy games that I can get lost in because the story is engaging or if the mechanics are fun to use. It is these kinds of games that inspire me to create my own world that players can explore and play with mechanics that I helped develop.
