A few extra goodies:
INTERSPELLER
An intergalactic riddle-
platformer/typing-spellcaster
about finding your cat.Worked as a designer-programmer.
(Also rigged and animated a few things.)
Made by me and Max Zhang.
Fall 2014.
In Interspeller, you find yourself anchoring down on a foreign planet in search of your cat. Armed with nothing other than your linguistic fortitude, you begin to put together the grammar of the mysterious language you encounter, and through understanding these strange words you learn new ways to navigate the land.Input is done exclusively through the keyboard, and no discernable words are used in the game's puzzles, creating the mentally disorienting but rewarding experience of learning a language through context alone.
D-BUG
A touch-based puzzle-platformer
about hacking bugs to destroy bugs
to protect your sick gameboy.Worked as a designer-programmer.
Made by me and the four other Pillowettes.
Summer 2014.
D-Bug is an iPad game about interfaces. It's a touch-based puzzle-platformer in which your beloved handheld device has become infested with bugs, and it's up to you to possess these bugs and clean Button from the inside out. For each type of bug that you possess, the virtual controls used to maneuver them transform, allowing for a variety of gameplay styles so that our beautiful little bugs can be at their best.D-Bug was developed in the lovely Dundee, Scotland for the 2014 Dare To Be Digital competition, where it won the Audience Choice Award. It was wonderful but we are glad to be away from the seagulls.
QUIET KISSING
Competitive kissing in the third dimension.Solo project -
Level co-designed with Steven Li.
Spring 2015.
Quiet Kissing is a local four-player first-person hide-and-seek game about kissing. Quietly. In Quiet Kissing there are two types of players - Humans and Demons. Humans hide and make out. Demons try to corner an unsuspecting Human, steal its heart, and become Human themselves! In summary: Humans run around and kiss, Demons try to become Human. Just like real life! *kiss* ;)
DOXADEMO
An invisible maze about gender norms.Solo project!
Made for a university gender studies course.
Fall 2013.
Doxademo is an invisible maze for up to six participants. Made for a gender studies course, Doxademo aims to model the invisible way in which gender "norms" are passed on between and within generations. The participants must navigate the maze from start to finish, but whenever they touch a wall they are sent back to the start of the maze. A ghost is left in their place, showing where a boundary of the maze exists. Participants can only discover these boundaries by bumping into them, but each time they do so, they lose a little bit of their color.
THE LONGEST COUCH
Queer co-operative kissing.Solo project!
Except for the sound. That was Raghav.
November 2013.
The Longest Couch is a game where two players have to complete a series of commands on a gampead to navigate their respective boy to the center of the couch. Once the gamepad commands are completed, the players move to a shared keyboard - as the boys on the screen get closer, so do the players. It is very romantic.The Longest Couch won Best of Show at USC's 2013 QUILTBAG Jam. Hurray, thank you!
BLOOM
Touch-based 2.5D nature platformer about a heroic seedling in a ruined world.Worked as one of four level designers.
Made by the immense Team Flaming Toast.
October 2013 - March 2014.
Bloom was one of USC's 2013-2014 Advanced Game Projects. You play as Sprout the Seedling, using their gesture-controlled nature powers (spike platforms, destructive spikes, rainclouds) to locate the Tree Of Life and restore vitality to a machine-dominated world.As a level designer, I designed 2 levels and 1 boss fight, as well as assisted in the construction and population of the levels in Unity.
JUMPER & THUMPER
