UnearthedA 3D, first person beat-em-up! Up to two players (split-screen) must overcome an army of undead as they travel through an abandoned mineshaft, using a combination of arms, and the very environment itself. Pick up an unconsious zombie and beat up her friends with her own body. Throw a boulder at a skeleton and watch as he collapses on to his friends, domino style. The combat is heavily driven by physics so the fun never stops.

Heart of ClayA story adventure game about a clay golem brought to life. Discover the grim reason behind your existence as you explore the town and meet the villagers.
This game is a ~20 minute experience where players are guided through the town to learn the story of their existence as a golem by interacting with the townsfolk and examining the environment. While most of the story is delivered via dialogue, the environment gives a lot of context to the events that took place before the golem was brought to life. The world and characters come together to create a memorable and engaging experience for players. For: DigiPen Team: Solo Role: Creator Date: April 2015 CLICK FOR MORE DETAILS |

Yandere Simulator
Yandere Simulator is a stealth assassination game taking place in a Japanese school featuring an emphasis on anime tropes. My role in Yandere Simulator was designing top-down floor plans of Osana's house and other level layouts that are still in development. Level design for Yandere Simulator involved a lot of back and forth between me and Yandere Dev, iterating on things like enemy placement, entry/exit points, objective locations and other mechanical requirements from the game.
