Games
I do a handful of coding, game development and game design! Here's some of the things I've worked on
To Grant a Wish
Lead Editor and QA Tester
In 'To Grant A Wish' you play as a Minor Deity, whose presence has been fading due to a lack of worship. One day, you receive an offering on your shrine that grants you more power than you have had in a century, and you set out, determined to grant their wish.Unfortunately, this isn't quite so simple as it seems...
Pokémon Terastal Horizons
An unofficial Pokémon set made off of the concept of fixing some problems with the "GLC" format as well as putting in characters from the Pokémon Anime, Pokémon Horizons, into the card game.
The set includes 100+ NEW (UNOFFICIAL) cards for the Pokémon Trading Card game. The set is 100% draftable and is currently being done so with a pod of 4 people.
The first playtest of the set was May 4th and as more changes are being made, the set is in it's open Beta.
The Child Who Picked Pebbles
Lead Designer, Creative Lead, Front End Developer
This was a game I spearheaded with a group of peers. As the producer, I worked with a team of talented individuals to build a demo. This game demo was made in 5 months with a small team for an event.
A Cute CRG (Collectable Rock Game) (It's like a Collectable Card Game, but with Rocks Instead.)
Buddy Ball
Solo Developer
The game was made in 2 months for an expo. Everything in game was done by yours truly.
A game inspired by Nexile's "Jump King". Will you make it to the top, or fall trying?
Buddy Ball was a small game that took me two months to make. I wanted to make a game that focused on gravity so I didn't need to take as much time to code and let the Unity Engine do a lot of the heavy lifting. That's what lead to this game's "Jump King" like structure. This game was a personal challenge for me. In the end, the game got many of the players who played it addicted to the game.
