Game Dev Philosophy

A VR hunting safety game that was made in collaberation with the GIMM Development Team and Fish and Game organizations across the United States. This is supplementary material that is supposed to go alongside the lessons.

I worked as a 3D modeler and graphic designer. I created and animated animals like the moose, grouse, and pheasant. Assisted in the animations of the bear and boar. Helped create posters for the grouse, moose, proghorn, and mule deer.

An escape room experience that is made in collaberation with GIMM students and the Luminary at Boise State University.

I worked on the narration and character design. I was able to animated roughly four characters, but ran out of time to do the rest. I done the final character designs in Adobe Illustrator and animated them in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Drum Duels is an accessible game made in a team of three. This game was for a client who was blind. I focused on the UI design, implementation, and level design. I contributed to the functionality of the UI in code via. how they transition between menus and how it triggers when you mouse click it. Besides that, I modeled a few assets in the scene.

A educational website and unity application that is going being used in Idaho schools by GIMM Works. It is supposed to teach about Idaho's history. I was the artist for the Unity side, creating the characters, avatar, UI, and scene design.

This AR application is an add-on to a project with a similar name for the City of Boise through GIMM Works. It's to encourage people to go to their local parks and also learn the history of the parks.

My role was to create the new UI, although I also did some 3D modeling and the implementation of said models into the scene.

This is a solo project VR, Unity game. I created all the assets besides the music that appear in the game. My goal was to make an rpg/visual novel type game. Since this was my second time programming in VR, it is still rough around the edges but proves to show that I could do it.

The models and animations were made both in Blender and Maya. While Poppy's texture was done in Substance Painter.

This is a sample Xcode application that helps children with special needs that a breath. This was done in collaberation with Mississpi State University. I did character concepts for the characters leading the exercise as well as some wireframes for the activity and application. The animations for the actual application was done in Adobe Animate.

This project was done in collaberation with GIMM Works and Anne Frank Memorial to create an interactive AR experience that teaches about the history of Anne Frank and why it is important. This experience is done on site at the Anne Frank Memorial in Idaho.

For this project, I have made several models, but mainly worked on level design and experience for each AR scene.

The Elysium Series are just games that feature the character Elysium, who drives to bring people to what they consider their "paradise". Whether it is the truth or the fact that they needed to see someone. It is my first few games and the proof of me as game developer. While the plots are vastly different, they feature my attempts to improve upon a dialogue system that I created with more features (i.e. tracking information, spawning in the overworld) and more efficently (i.e. having contious options in one scene, easy connection to various of scenes.)

My first game (and video) is Elysium. The next two games are group projects done in GIMM. The second game (and video) is AR Cinderella. The third game (and video, which had copyrighted music) is Pursuit of Time.
