CO-LEAD

everybody's sad is a Unity 3D VR game for the HTC Vive, intended to be shown at festivals. As co-lead, my work on the game included project management for a team of 12, narrative design, and level design, while contributing programming and concept art. Selected for showcase at IndieCade 2018.

DID A WHOLE LOT ON IT

The Senpai is a Unity-based visual novel. My work on the game included basically everything, except for audio, and approximately half of the writing because I wrote it with my main dude Clark. You can play it if you want cowboy, just press the button up there that says 'The Senpai'. Written up by Kotaku, Nerdist, and other blogs.

GAME DESIGN, PROGRAMMING,
UI/UX DESIGN

BIKE GAME is a 2022 advergame built in ROBLOX for Specialized. Players can race, compete in a high score challenge, or take their time exploring an exquisite 3D world littered with secrets (I didn’t do level design, so it’s okay for me to call it exquisite.). I designed the game and its systems, programmed the whole thing, and did UI design for the game (Which I’m really proud of). Give it a shot!

GAME DESIGNER

Specialized Stumpjumper is a retro-style advergame for the 2018 Specialized Stumpjumper built in Phaser. Fast paced and simple, players of any skill level can have fun with this ExciteBike homage. I worked primarily on game design and UI design, contributing to programming and cutscene art as well.

LEAD TECHNOLOGIST

SceneSampler is a social game for events and festivals, using Arduino-based wearable technology to have two players 'map out' a social space using sound. The game was produced in collaboration with Katherine Isbister's Social Emotional Technology Lab at UC Santa Cruz. My work on the game included software and hardware design, as well as programming. Selected for IndieCade 2017, and Come Out And Play 2017.

I MADE IT

lazy river is a frantic and fast-paced endless runner built in Phaser. Controlling a duck, players must avoid rocks, drink beers, bounce a beach ball, and dodge sniper fire to get a high score. Designed to be extremely stressful, but manageable. Not really “resume material,” but it’s too fun (and accessible) for me to leave it out.
