Prototypes

Wetness(Experimental game)

A Unreal navigational game.
Wetness is an experimental game I made in a weekend in Unreal. Wetness uses GPU sprites to make water that glows and interacts with surfaces. The players can use this to see where surfaces are and avoid obstacles in a pitch black environment.

Battle Ballads(Prototype)

Team Lead- Pitched the game to industry professionals, also led the team with the scrum process. 
​Designer- Designed hybrid combat/rhythm system
A rhythm based fighting game prototype. The player would hit enemy notes to then fire them back in what ever order they wanted. 

Dysassociation(Prototype)

Team Lead-Overall lead the team with scrum to make a serious game. Pitched the prototype to medical leaders for funding. 
Design Lead- Designed puzzles to recreate the feeling of Dyslexia for people with out it.
Our goal was to make a game in Unity and make it a serous game. I've for years wanted to make a game about Dyslexia. So we made a horror game that is about being someone with a learning disability. You explore a school that is like a maze and solve puzzles that make the player feel like they have Dyslexia. 

Sweat it off(Prototype)

Lead Producer- maintained a backlog and used scrum.
​Had to reuse a old game to make a new one so we made Sweat Shopper. A revamped version of tapper where kids in a sweat shop have to move quickly to score high and stay alive.

Last of the Vegans(Prototype)

Team Lead- maintained backlog and used scrum to run our team.
​Lead Designer- Designed the overall gameplay.
A game about being the last vegan. We made this game in the Mono engine. Its a survival score game where you have to use momentum of your green grocer bag to fight off meat.
