Sometimes It's Fun To Fuck Around
I like doing game jams and hackathons to let off some creative steam. It rarely ends in a useful or serious place.
RAINBOW SMASHERS
RAINBOW SMASHERS
//3D.MODELING+PROTOTYPING+GAME.DESIGN
For the 2nd Oculus game jam, I worked with a small team to build the first multiplayer cross-platform top down shooter for VR. Rainbow Smashers was your typical, run of the mill, Unicorn shooter, complete with rainbow stars fired from your Unicorn's horn. I led the art direction and game design and learned a lot about optimizing assets to run on such resource constrained hardware. Apologies for the video, we hadn't slept in days.

The talented Pablo Rochat brought me this idea and we ended up taking it all the way to its logical conclusion. VR is the perfect hardware to train in the lost art of miming. Need to pretend an invisible wall is in front of you? Just pop one up in VR that only you can see! I ended up programming an entire mini-game where you could go through multiple mime excersises.
HAUGHTY OR NAUGHTY
//GAME.DESIGN+UI.DESIGN
A social game made fot the 2014 Moly Jam. We were given a random quote from the infomous game designer Peter Molyneyu and had 2 days to build a game around it. Haughty or Naughty was a game inspired by magnetic poetry.

Players would recieve a poem title that acted as a prompt, and an associated set of words. Once posted other users would vote on the poetry, choosing to label it as haughty and pretentious or naughty and lewd. The highest rated would make the Haughty or Naughty Lists, which ranked the top performers. Gamasutra highlighted as one of their favorite game jam entries.
