My Other
Game Projects

In this project, my work focused on level design and iteration, puzzle design and refinement, as well as the development of the horror shader. However, the main goal of the project wasn’t just about the game itself; it was about creating marketing materials, identifying our target audience, and developing playtesting reports. This experience taught me a great deal about practical and transferable skills beyond just game development.

In Room for Change, I served as the lead programmer and designer, with the majority of my focus on developing the phone system within the game and tying everything together with the contributions from the other team members. This project was more about cultural studies, exploring the impact of our game, and how it could assist those dealing with similar afflictions. I learned a lot from this experience in terms of communication and managing a project from start to finish, helping the team with task allocation and design goals to achieve our final product.

While working on Fractured, I collaborated with Clay McConaghy to develop the game. During this time, I was responsible for programming and developing the majority of the game, including the shrines, enemies, player mechanics, and combat system, as well as the UI and UX. Clay focused on greyboxing the level. This was my first experience designing and developing a hack-and-slash style game, and I learned a great deal about animations, combat design, and the intricate thought process behind developing all the moving parts.

As Flying with Charlie was a solo, one-week project, I handled the majority of the development myself. I started with Unreal’s third-person game template and built upon it from there. I developed the flying mechanics, including the lean functionality, using sourced animations to bring everything together. I integrated licensed assets to build out the environment and visuals. My focus was primarily on refining the flying experience, creating a picture-taking feature to establish a game loop, and developing the companion character, Charlie.

Divergence Sync was inspired by the Mirror's Edge franchise and its clean-punk aesthetic. I began the project with physical sketches, mapping out the level and gathering feedback before iterating on the design. Once the concept was solid, I greyboxed the entire level. I developed the player controller from scratch, implementing features like mantling and crouching. In addition, I built the perspective transition system and designed the timer event system, which functioned as both save points and checkpoint timers.

During Crow's Tavern, I focused on developing the interaction system, level design, and dialogue for the game. I designed both the story and systems from the ground up.
