My Video Game Projects
Gun and Sword
This game is a personal project I made using the Unity game engine and coded in C#. I have a blog detailing the development of this game HERE. Gun and Sword is a top down action adventure game where the player will navigate through three levels made up of ten procedurally generated rooms with four different types of enemies. Each level ends with a fun and challenging boss fight. Over the course of the game the player will have access to two different swords and three different guns. I solely designed, programmed and made the art assests for this game. I got the sound effects from freesound.org. You can play the game HERE. I suggest using Google Chrome when playing. Also note that the aspect ratio of the game is messed up in the windowed version so I would also recommend playing the game in full screen mode to get a proper HD aspect ratio and not have parts of the game chopped off.
Ski Royale
This game was a part of my senior capstone made in a four man team (three programmers including myself and one artist). Have fun in 1 to 4 player splitscreen party style racing combat! Use items and hit people with your ski poles to get an advantage and win the race. For this project I programmed the player movement, controls, game modes, splitscreen multiplayer, track obstacles and menus. I also designed and built the tutorials and the racetracks. Through playtesting I was able to make the player's controls and movement feel natural and fun yet requires some skill. I was also able to iterate the designs of the racetracks to be fair, interesting, varied and work well within the controls and constraints of the player's movement. Made in Unity and programmed in C#. (This game requires XBOX controllers for Windows)

Parasitic Passage
This game was made for my Game Programming class. I designed, programmed and made all of the art assets for it. The goal of the game is to infect all of the bugs in the level with a parasite before the time runs out. When you infect a bug you take control of it and use it's unique abilities to infect the other bugs and solve the puzzle. Through playtesting I was able to find out the right way to go about teaching the player the mechanics of the game in a process that is not wordy. I also was able to balance the level progression to make sure the difficulty and the complexity of the puzzles increases at a reasonable rate. Made in Unity and programmed in C#. Art made in Inkscape and sounds from freesound.org.

Pollution Problems
I made this game as a statement on the amount of garbage that humans have dumped into the oceans. I designed, programmed and made all of the art for this game. I tried to use what Ian Bogost calls "procedural rhetoric", which is using the mechanics of the gameplay to persuasively make a point. The player is presented with a portion of ocean filled with trash and must pick up as much of it as they can before the time runs out. Then in the next scene the player controls a turtle and must avoid eating trash until the time runs out. The amount of trash they have to avoid is based on how much they pick up in the first scene. These scenes loop and increase in difficulty until the turtle dies in the runner scene. Through playtesting and critique I decided to change the game from an endless runner scene to the two scenes that loop and increase in difficulty to give the game more direction, purpose and replayability. Made in Unity and programmed in C#. Art made in Inkscape and sounds from freesound.org.
