Let Them Come

In 2017, I worked at Firehorse Studio on Let Them Come, integrating the Alienware AlienFX SDK into the game built with Game Maker. The AlienFX SDK allows games to control Alienware laptop lighting effects, but it's written in C++ as a DLL and isn't directly usable in Game Maker.

My job was to write bindings between the C++ SDK and GML (Game Maker's scripting language) in an efficient way. This was very challenging since I had zero experience with Game Maker at the time, but I managed to create a working solution that let the game control the lighting effects. It was a great learning experience in middleware integration and working with unfamiliar technologies.
