Games
Cliff v Cliff
October 2023—December 2023
​​
Cliff v Cliff ​is a 2D platformer created in Unity for the Introduction to Video Game Design and Culture course at SUNY Polytechnic Institute during the Fall 2023 semester. The assignment required us to form small groups and collaborate to make a game. The game our group came up with is called Cliff v Cliff where the player must aim and jump from anchor point to anchor point to escape an erupting volcano.
​
The tasks I completed for this game included originating the game's concept (the main character scaling a cliff to escape), wrote the game's narrative (a researcher escaping an erupting volcano), composed music for the menu, level, and game over screen, and prototyped the jumping and freezing mechanic.
Gunslinger
August 2024—December 2024
​
Gunslinger was a strategy based video game that the entire class worked on for the Professional Game Production course during the Fall 2024 semester, where a professional environment was simulated. The players (or player and NPC) play as opposing gunslingers on the board, and their goal is to blow up their opponent's stable first. The player(s) can move or do other actions with their gunslinger or other townsfolk placed on the board in order to achieve their goal.
​
I worked on the design of the map, which involved making several iterations before the final one was selected. Pictured to the left is the final layout, which is an 8x8 grid with the buildings located symmetrically to avoid one player gaining an unfair advantage over the other. The lines in bold are areas that the player cannot move into from that direction, so they must enter from another.
​
While I designed the layout of the game's level, I also collaborated with the programming and art teams throughout the semester to ensure that the map met the requirements of the assignment and the needs of the other teams.
Sam the Shadow Man
January 2025—April 2025
​
Sam the Shadow Man is an action oriented first person shooter created in Unity for the Video Game Design Studio course at SUNY Polytechnic Institute during the Spring 2025 semester. The premise of the game is that the player plays as Sam, who is an extradimensional being that is defending their home from angry townspeople. The player can throw fireballs and move around the map to defend themself. To win, the player must defeat four waves. For this project, we formed groups and worked on the game for the duration of the semester.
​
For this project, I was the Producer, where I managed tasks and made sure the game was on schedule for completion. I also created the game's soundtracks and sound effects, and programmed the sounds into the game. Additionally, I programmed the health pack system, where an enemy drops a health pack once killed, I helped program the tutorial menu, the pause menu, and created the win screen.
​
Since I worked in a group with three other people, collaborating was key to ensuring that the necessary features were implemented and that the group's workload was never too excessive.
The Void Follows
April 2025
​
The Void Follows was made as a solo project in Unity for the SUNY Poly Spring 2025 Game Jam. The game is a first person puzzle platformer, where the player plays as a person who has woken up inside an endless void, and must find a way to escape. To traverse the void, the player follows a series of platforms which lead to an orb at the end of each level. Once the player walks over the orb, the next level loads.
There are different platform types that the player can control. The player can press the "E" key on their keyboard to control the green platforms in a given level. Once pressed, a single group of green platforms (or a singular platform) disappears, and a different group appears. The player can also press the "R" key on their keyboard, which causes a group of red platforms (or a singular red platform) to appear for a limited time before vanishing. There are also yellow platforms that the player does not control, which move back and forth in a given space.
​
This game has a total of eight levels that the player can complete.
