Game Design

Group Project (2022-23)

Senior Game Designer

• 2-4 Player Couch Co-Op PC game

• 2 teams - one of cats, one of housekeepers - battle for territory control of a house

• Housekeepers clean the house and wrangle cats, while cats sabotage the housekeepers

• Similar to Overcooked and Moving Out but as a team-vs-team battle

• Each house adds a new chore or task which the teams fight to possess

• Developed over course of 9 months in Unity

• Working within limited mechanics - ladders, platforms, locks, conveyors, teleporter- and was prohibited from modifying any scripts

• All environment geometry created using ProBuilder for Unity, textures from Quixel Mixer, scripting package by Rich Wilson

• Level divided into 6 sections, each visually designed after a piece of concept art, and mechanically designed to feature one of the main mechanics, gradually combining them

• 'Discovered' narrative as I built it, happened upon neat layout wherein path leads back onto itself, but now with extra door open to allow for final hidden elevator to open

Stunt Race for GTA Online (Xbox One)

• Using GTA Online's level creator, built a stunt race (placing pre-made features like ramps, landing pads, boosts, tubes, etc.)

• Built using Xbox One, which has more limited memory (placeable parts per level) and can only be built using Xbox gamepad.

• Race designed for maximum interaction of track with city environment in the downtown & port section of GTA 5 map

• Each segment of the race crosses over, under, or through a bridge in the area

• Had race take up less space by building sections of track used more than once so that race would intersect with itself

Race designed for maximum interaction with bridges in downtown/port section of GTA 5

Multiple intersections of track with prior areas to efficiently maximize use of limited memory in the Xbox GTA Creator

Trivia Quiz for Sporcle

• Designed as study aid for college course on meteorology regarding common names of the bands of imagery captured by the GOES-R geostationary weather satellites

• Quiz was approved by my professor for use to rapidly test my knowledge to prepare for the test

• Rewrote data from official NOAA document into spreadsheet form, designed sheet for slightly easier reading, included channel type hint column.

• Generated several possible alternatives for nicknames as many users call them slightly different variations (e.g. clean longwave, clean longwave window, clean LWIR all refer to the same band).
