The plan is to build an advanced, automated student hostel system. There are currently seven of us working on it, and we're aiming to include every function a dormitory needs to operate smoothly. The platform will help teachers and students by tracking attendance and movement permissions, managing leave requests, room inspections, canteen data, and generating useful statistics. We're developing it for the web as well as Android and iOS.

I originally came up with the idea because the outdated paper-based process frustrated me, and I felt we could create something better ourselves. That is certainly true; however, I seriously underestimated the amount of time required, as at the beginning of the project we lacked concrete experience in many fields.

Original Hungarian title: Berek Zoltán és a Legendás Tömlőssajt

In this game you play as the YouTuber Zoltán Berek, who has to save his viewers after an evil brushcutter vows to destroy them because he no longer uploads brushcutter videos. The Giant Brushcutter isn't alone, he has revived an entire army to stop your rescue mission. Create the Legendary Tube Cheese and defeat him with its power!

This was my first relatively big game, so it isn't a game-changer; it's more of a classic platformer with a few twists. I lost the Unity project file, so I started rebuilding it in the Godot engine and plan to remove every paywall.

A tool I built for a fan game to make implementing frames much easier.

It automatically generates spritesheet resources from individual recorded or rendered frames. The tool removes the background, crops sprites based on a chosen color and threshold, resizes and offsets them, and arranges everything according to the user's configuration.

I created it for a Mario fan game (Mario Multiverse SFMB) I've contributed to since 2020 to automate the spritesheet workflow. I originally wrote a simple Python script that just read manually set config files and generated based on them, but I ended up building a full UI for it in Python. I'm currently remaking it in WinUI 3 and C# so I can take advantage of a native UI toolkit and add real-time previews for example.

I made this game for the 2022 GMTK Game Jam. It's a very short (and very buggy) strategy game that I made in no more than two days. It was my first game jam, one of my first project without much 3D experience, and even the first time using Unity's new UI Toolkit, which I was surprised that I was able to learn on the fly.

There's not much reason to play it right now, I consider it a failure. I might revisit it one day, but I don't currently have plans for it.

I really liked the tight deadline, which is why I joined. I really value my time and I'm afraid of doing something without thinking it through beforehand, so I felt that whatever the outcome of those two days I wouldn't lose much, but I would definitely learn from the experience.

This was our first time participating in the school's student director election. We would have started in 9th grade, but that round was canceled because of COVID.

We probably lost because we tried to look too professional instead of being funny, which obviously works better in a school setting. Looking back, it might have been for the best, because we had ideas I'm not sure we could have executed in the time we had to prepare.

I censored our director candidate because he asked to be removed from our public YouTube channel.

This was our second attempt, and we learned from the previous winners that we needed a funny theme, so we fully embraced that idea.

One of our classmates suggested we run as Mao Zedong, which most of us liked, so we built the whole campaign around it. We produced a fake news broadcast and a bunch of ridiculous parodies. It was my favorite theme because it felt limitless and genuinely fun.

In the end, we still came in second place by seven votes, and last year's winners took the trophy again...

By our third attempt, the class that had defeated us twice had already graduated, so our chances finally improved!

We'd collected lots of ideas over the years, so we had to vot and the Jesus theme won. Balancing humor and respect was tricky, especially while we were also graduating, but we still produced as many campaign videos, posters, and programs as possible. But in the end, we won big! Organizing the actual student day became the new challenge, and we had very little prep time, so I often stayed up until dawn and still had to be at school early to keep everything on track.

In the end, we heard that almost everyone enjoyed the day, and I'm very grateful to all of my classmates who helped organize it.
