My Latest Projects
There Is No Honor Here
There Is No Honor Here is a personal project game that I created a story bible for in the ELVTR game writing course I took. It is a game about nuclear waste architecture and how humanity assumes it knows more than its predecessors.
Phasmophobia the board game
In an exploration of mechanics, my friend CM and I adapted the popular game Phasmophobia into a hidden movement board game.
TESKAZ
Teskaz is a project created for my Designing and Implementing game Mechanics module. It is a 3D cleaning simulator horror game located in a supermarket. The aim of the game is to clean the store, replace missing stock and escort stray customers out of the store all while avoiding the demon that lurks within the aisles. The game is still under production. I worked specifically on the item collection and replacement and on the hiding mechanics.
Bubble Cult
Bubble Cult was my project for the 2025 global game jam. I worked with two other friends to create an underwater city builder with rouge-like missions to collect resources. I worked on the missions, all assets and many UI features.
Dungeons and Jokers
Dungeons and Jokers was created for the Global Game Jam 2024 with the theme 'make me laugh'. I worked in a team of 4 to create a deck builder game where the aim was to make your opponent laugh before you did. To defeat your opponent you have to use joke cards to deal damage, rebuttal cards to defend yourself from your opponents jokes and composure cards to heal yourself. I worked on the majority of the assets and the card hand.
Roll Through the Ages
Roll Through the Ages is a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition campaign manual that I wrote. It works through history as the players level up creating both an educational and entertaining gameplay experience.
