Games

T1

This is my current work in progress. It’s definitely my biggest project to date.

It’s a rougelite where the player uses telekinesis to explore a procedurally-generated maze of rooms, fighting enemies and collecting items. Between adventures, players can spend their hard-earned points to upgrade their “Cabin”, a hub world of sorts.

Retro

This is the first game I made. This project helped me understand Unity and learn how to code in C#.

It’s a collection of minigames inspired by old arcade games like Pong and Space Invaders. There’s also a short story mode where the player fights off a virus that is trying to take over their computer.

Writing

Call Me Camella

Call Me Camella is my debut novel.

In 1963, Vito Russoli, a humble driver for celebrities, is hired to drive Camella Lawrence, a talented young jazz singer, from New York to Denver. However, neither of them could anticipate how the journey would transform their lives.

As they set out for their five-day road trip, the deeply divided American landscape brings their differences to the foreground. However, as the miles pass and the open road stretches before them, a bond begins to form. They share more than just the confines of a car; they share their hopes, fears, and the most intimate details of their lives.

I also like to write things! This is just a handful of some essays I’ve written about video games and other forms of media.

Smaller Projects

Mobile Narrative Site

This mobile narrative site was created for a class in the GIMM program, where we had to gather data about a given topic and create data visualizations and a filter table.

Amu Tombolos

Amu Tombolos is a short interactive comic about the emptiness in an atom, using a metaphor of an island tribe.

This game was a group project for a class I took, in which I was the team lead, audio designer, programmer, and Unity implementer.

Gravity Thief

This is a short platformer-shooter I made for a class. The player controls a robot trying to escape a space ship with an orb that allows them to control gravity.

Packing a Punch

This is a short shooter I made individually for a 48-hour game jam back in 2020. The player controls a survivor in a city overrun by aliens as they attempt to rescue other survivors and fight monsters.
