Greedy Goblin was my Capstone project at the University of Utah EAE ungraduated program. The game was released on Steam and sat at the top of New and Trending free games for a few days. At the time of writing, the game is still on the first page of New and Trending free.
I worked as a Designer and an Artist. I modeled, textured, and animated, mostly.

A turn based tactics game where the player commands a cast of unique heroes as they travel across space and time in order to power up and defeat the evil lord Cthulhu. Build up your party by destroying mini-bosses and their lackeys in preparation for the final battle to save the universe! This project was a stretch goal for a successfully crowdfunded game by Sandy Petersen's company, Petersen Games. I was involved internally with production and communication.
Just One Bard: MOBA style PVE experience
Link to Game: https://www.startalegames.com/just-one-bard
For "Just One Bard", I was level designer for the spaceship overworld, ruin level, and the medieval village. I worked closely with programmers, 2D/ 3D artists, and more. In addition to the in-engine work I did for this project I also served as the team's producer. I managed team member tasks in trello using a Kanban methodology. When the team would meet in person or online I would run short effective scrum meetings.
Necroquest: Casual Mobile Adventure Game
Necroquest was created to be a hyper casual mobile adventure game. We wanted limited controls (Toggle stick, 3 ability buttons, and tap to walk) but still allow the player to explore new areas, use interesting abilities, and command their own team of Cronies. On our small team I was the game designer, level designer, writer, and unit designer. Overall the project was a great learning experience for all of us on the team. A scrapped ambitious customizable village system taught me an awful lot about small team development through remote communication. At the end of the day, the most important thing when making a game with other people is to be able to communicate effectively together.
