Who am I?

My name is Daniel Bedggood. I am a kiwi computer science student at the University of Auckland, graduating around June 2019. I love video games and I enjoy coding up random projects in my spare time. If you want to have a look at my other projects, my Github account is here.

Why did I make this?

The original Risk of Rain was the game that first got me interested in roguelikes, I played it a lot back in 2013 when it came out and I still come back to it every now and then. Risk of rain 2 is an amazing sequel that somehow keeps the core mechanics of the game, and makes it all work in 3D. Long story short, I'm in love with this game and I wanted to make something to practice my web development skills.

How did I make this?

This project is made with ASP.NET Core MVC and is hosted on Azure. I started off following the tutorial here, then started doing my own thing after I figured out how it all worked. I created this project in the Visual Studio 2019 Community IDE on Windows.
