Don't Kill The Hero (GGJ 2017)
 
Role(s): Writer; Background Artist
Date: 2017

A game created for 2017's Global Game Jam. Toil and Trouble was created around the theme, "Waves". 


“Dearest JADE KNIGHT, I TIRE of this DANCE. This dance of GOOD versus EVILLLL. Come to my CASTLE on the night of the BLOOD RED MOONNN. The gates will be OPEN, and we’ll DANCE a FINAL time… and THEN… I’ll have you for DINNERRR.”

The Dark Lord sits upon his throne and waits for his sworn nemesis, the Green Knight. He sends his monsters and greatest warriors to fight the Green Knight, while the Green Knight fights through the castle to reach him. However, the Dark Lord does not want the hero to perish before they get to him. His minions, the Terrible Trio, don't intend to let the hero meet him unless they can defeat them in combat. As such, the Dark Lord must send enemies for the hero to defeat and level up with, so that they might be strong enough to defeat the Terrible Trio and confront the Dark Lord.

Unfortunately, due to issues with Unity, the cutscene levels were unable to be integrated into the game and were later lost to software failure.

Role(s): Programmer; (Co-)Writer; (Co-)Level Designer
Date: 2015

A game made for the “Shut Up and Make a Game” game jam hosted by the University of Alberta Video Game Art and Design club. The jam lasted 48 hours and centered around two potential themes: ‘inconvenient mutations’ and ‘indecisive revolution’.

Unfinished Business is about a penniless, nameless ghost detective and their dog Bleu taking a job from a realty company to clear a house of its hauntings. The house was the site of a double suicide between step-siblings who, according to official story, killed themselves because they felt they couldn’t be together otherwise. However, there are clues that suggest otherwise. The detective has a night to explore the house, talk to the ghosts, find all the clues, and ultimately put together what really happened.
