Projects

The Witch’s Cottage is a miniature escape room that I built for a friend’s Halloween party in October 2018. It was designed to be played by one to two players at a time and to take around twenty minutes to complete in order to allow everyone at the party to try it out over the course of the evening.

Highpocracy is a stoner comedy podcast that I co-hosted with my friend Ryan Anderson. In the show, we play two stoner siblings who have taken it upon themselves to solve all of the world’s problems via the mind-expanding powers of marijuana.

Space Hops is a tabletop game of positional strategy and hand management where players must hop their ship between planets trying to collect the most space junk. I designed it primarily between 2017 and 2018, Yellow Cab Games signed the game in 2021, and it was ultimately released in 2023.

Pretentious Game Ideas is a monthly-ish game design podcast I hosted with my friends Rob Giusti and Ryan Anderson. We started the podcast in 2016 as an excuse to engage in regular deep-dive conversations about game design among ourselves.

Skulldug! is a pulp adventure-themed exploration board game. Players take on the role of adventurers searching for treasure in the treacherous depths of an uncharted cave. You take turns discovering squares of the board by drawing from a deck of terrain cards.

The Spirit of Giving is a card game that I designed for a game jam in December 2013 that is played with a traditional 52-card deck and a stack of Post-It notes.

Asterogue is a mobile brawler that combines procedural dungeons with an innovative gesture-based combat system. As you progress through the game’s 3 distinct worlds, you collect an arsenal of procedurally-generated weapons and abilities that are dropped by your foes.

An homage to Ramiro Corbetta’s abstract indie soccer title Hokra. Hokranoid takes that same concept of two teams passing, tackling, and shooting their way to victory and puts its own Breakout-tinged spin on it.

A 1v1 deathmatch game played against an increasingly intelligent AI opponent, developed using Flixel for distribution via Adobe Flash.

A Kinect-based motion sport for cartoon exercise enthusiasts created for the Adventure Time Game Jam.

A pastoral comedy of love and Lovecraft.

Snakeman Tries His Best is an arcade-style shoot-em-up that I created to teach myself Unity during Global Game Jam 2012. The player controls the immortal Snakeman, who has dedicated himself to saving malnourished human prisoners from their robotic oppressors.

A four-player cooperative arcade shooter developed for the Xbox 360 using XNA.

A meditative puzzle game created in XNA for the 2011 Global Game Jam.
