I believe that above all else, games must entertain our players, keeping them engaged with our team past the game. I design with the idea of an assignment, games exist for the audience and not myself. My process centers on the idea of "push and pull", the right kind of risk to create a rewarding gameplay loop. My personal tastes lie in horror and high skill ceiling games, because the tension itself is the fun. Where else does fear bloom joy?
But first, why not take a look at some of my recent projects?
Project RAILGUN was a UE5 project developed during my study at Cal State East Bay, in collaboration alongside Katelyn Ang, Emmet Beebe Foley, and Yuhtoku Fujikake. It is a short game concept that was conceived to focus upon high speed movement, combined alongside a signature 'Railgun' that one-hit kills any enemy to define the experience loop.

Survive Your Killer is a short game project built to try and help me understand the gameplay loop that drives Dead By Daylight's generators, created during my studies at Cal State East Bay. The objective I set for myself would be to condense that risk and reward loop into a new, quick and fast format suited towards online browser play in a top-down p5.js framework.

Designed to work with a physical control board, this game concept was built around having players get immersed into carefully keeping out an abomination from their location.
