Welcome to the Portfolio of John Houlihan, Bay Area located Game Engineer, Team Leader, and lover of board games.

Check out some of the projects I’ve worked on or find my GitHub where you can find a bunch of code I’ve done.

Virion

I worked as a Producer and Engineer on Virion, a small indie roguelike made in 8 weeks and published on steam! I focused on Enemy Design/Implementation and Project Management.

You can check it out on steam here!

Unreleased Terraria Mod

I worked as an Engineer focused on implementation for a currently unreleased Mod for the game Terraria with a team of 5 people. My work mainly focused on the creation of a custom system to create and handle advanced particles for visual effects, as Terraria does not natively support them. While my work on this mod has mostly had to stop due to classes and other projects, the mod’s development is still ongoing!
