Games I've Worked On Episode 18: Lego Flame Power Within! Unity collaborated with Lego to do a game jam in 2021. There was a template to use and you could build off of it. I didn't spend too much time on my entry, but it was fun to play around with the Lego systems.

Games I've Worked On Episode 16: Leap A Head The first MassDigi game I worked on, and one of the first Unity games I worked on. Also the first game I worked on where I joined the project in the middle of development, and where I wasn't the lead. A lot of firsts with this one!

Games I've Worked On Episode 14: Phantom Comedy Theatre Made for Global Game Jam 2024 where the theme was "Make Me Laugh". The theme was a little tricky, and I made something very experimental, more of an experience than a traditional game.

Games I've Worked On Episode 13: Siren Serenade Made as a small game during my MassDigi SIP internship in 2019. This was one of the game ideas we had, but didnt go with. So when some of us decided to jam, we knew we had the perfect game to make.

Games I've Worked On Episode 12: Charity Champ In just 24 hours, I made an RPG! Pretty short game with an overworld, turn based combat, and bosses you have to grind to beat. We were also the only team, so we got a lot of leftover pizza!

Games I've Worked On Episode 10: Floaty Fighters My first big Unity game under Shattered Journal Games, and my first original fighting game! Floaty can be a little tricky to learn, but once you do, you start shmoving. There's 5 characters to choose from, all with unique movesets.

Games I've Worked On Episode 4: Super Raft Boat Classic In a flooded world, all you've got is your super raft boat. Try and last as long as you can in this chaotic roguelike. With over 1 million plays, this is my most played game!
