Welcome
Hi! I'm Andrea Mendez, and I'm a Unity Developer from Texas. My most notable projects include a VR Chemistry Lab, a simulation I developed as part of UTSA's SAVE Lab, and The UnBeelievable Bee VR Game made for UTSA's summer HONEY Pathway research program.
Projects
VR Chemistry Lab
This VR research simulation was developed to support scientific studies on water volume properties. It's a collaborative multiplayer environment where two researchers can simultaneously conduct virtual lab experiments. I built the complete system from the ground up, implementing networked interactions with Coherence SDK and designing intuitive VR interaction systems using Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit.
The Quantum Adventures of Professor Rabbit
2D runner made with a team of 3 for Quantum Game Jam where we won first place! You play as a physics professor trying to make his way home. I implemented the interactable tools and obstacles, quantum events with the Quantum Forge SDK, and animation scripts.Itch.io
The Bestower
A point-and-click 3D narrative adventure made in Unreal Engine 5 with a team of 3, where you are The Bestower, the saving grace or the doom of an entire planet. I implemented the solar system orbits and views, worked with a teammate on the outcome system, and made the outcome effects.Itch.io
GitHub Repo
Junebug
A mystery point-and-click game with some dungeon crawler aspects. Some of the more challenging features I implemented were a story progression system, multiple enemy behavior state machines, and 2D character animations. Made with Unity and third party assets.Itch.io
GitHub Repo
The UnBeelievable Bee VR Game
A VR bee simulator game with action elements like bee combat against wasps and bears, developed in collaboration with a HONEY Pathway member. I implemented the gathering mechanics, enemy AI and animations, and engineered the physics-based interactions between enemies and the hive. I also implemented the headset-led flying mechanic for player movement. Made with Unity and third party assets.
