Mo' Loot Mo' Problems
Ludum Dare 43 Page
Game Jam (Nov 30th - Dec 3rd 2018)

You play as a greedy captain of a pirate ship who’s only goal in life is to obtain as many riches as possible by any means necessary. Your job is to defeat enemy ships and steal their loot. But careful: your ship can only hold so much weight or else you’ll no longer be able to stay afloat. Throwing your cannons and crew overboard becomes your only option to carry more loot. Sacrifices must be made…

Dumb DoDo
Kongregate

Uh oh! The dumb dodo has fallen off a cliff! There's no end in sight. All that's left for dodo to do is try to avoid the rocks and branches along the way. Three strikes and the bird is toast. Good luck!

Digiminer / Boomstick / Attack of the Dead
2014-2015
The following projects are no longer supported and are non-funtional since Unity's web player was deprecated in 2016. Though they are no longer playable, developing them taught me valuable lessons in managing scope, collaboration, design and software development.

DigiMiner was a platformer twist on the classic game MineSweeper. The player controlled a tiny, digital miner who utilized his powerful head cannon and variety of special tiles including black holes, teleporters and spring blocks to clear the level of mines and avoid the inevitable explosions!


Boomstick, a wave based survival-shooter game. Rip and tear through hordes of monsters with machine guns, rifles and your trusty boomstick.

Attack of the Dead was my first game project. Highly ambitious and equally flawed, it was a valiant attempt spanning nearly a year at creating a real time strategy game with zero prior programming experience. It serves as an important reminder of where my game development journey started back in 2014.
