Projects I Have Worked On...
Part Of Me:
Concept: Part of me is a single-player 3D puzzle platformer that drives the player to think about bug physiological questions. The player is asked questions along with their journey to get the city’s power core back up and running. They are given the opportunity to upgrade their limbs or just brace their last human limbs heaping them human. The player’s limbs wear down and they have to get them replaced or braced throughout the game and eventually the player can replace all their parts. As the players' parts wear down they will have an increasingly harder time with completing each level as their former body becomes obsolete.

Kaiju Khaos:
Concept: Kaiju Khaos is a 2-player, strategic turn based board game that is played on a grid. Players take on the role of giant monsters, and destroy the city which they have been let loose in. By destroying buildings and nuclear plants, the players make their monsters stronger, with the ultimate goal of destroying their opponent’s monster and becoming the king of kaiju. We want our players to feel like a kaiju and powerful. We also want our players to make strategic moves that can ultimately make them win depending where they go on the map. We want our players to experience destroying buildings and nuclear plants as well as gaining strength and health.

Symbiotic:
Concept: The player is a prisoner launched to an alien planet by an evil company known as the Zertemic Corporation. Accompanying the player on this journey is a weapon bonded with a symbiotic alien that Zertemic found when it crashed landed on Earth. Infusing this symbiote with human technology the symbiotic alien became something that Zertemic was even more interested in, a living weapon. The player is fighting in the hopes that they will be set free by the end of their onslaught against the alien species on this planet. Zertemic couldn’t care less about the player’s health and are more focused on how the gun is performing. Ancient aliens have perished and their civilization is in ruins; their security system to protect the ruins, however, is still highly active and trying to stop the player. The player has to fight for their freedom or die trying.
