THIS GAME IS CURRENTLY IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. THE STORY FOLLOWS A YOUNG GIRL TRYING TO FIND HER MISSING BROTHER. THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT WITH MY PARTNER, WHO WORKS AS THE LEAD ARTIST.
IT IS A STYLIZED 2.5D PIXEL ART GAME CREATED IN UNREAL ENGINE AND WRITTEN IN C++. WE WERE INSPIRED BY THE STYLE OF GAMES SUCH AS POKÉMON BLACK/WHITE 2, AND FIELDS OF MISTRIA.AS THE GAME IS STILL IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT , THERE IS NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE LINK TO PLAY THE GAME. HOWEVER, YOU CAN FIND MORE ART RELATED TO THE GAME AT THE FOLLOWING LINK;
it's all in your head
THIS PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH TWO OF MY FRIENDS AS A PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR A LARGER GAME TITLED “IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD.” WE SET OURSELVES A TIGHT TIMEFRAME TO CREATE A PLAYABLE DEMO, WITH THE GOAL OF GAUGING PLAYER INTEREST BEFORE COMMITTING TO FULL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT.I LED THE ART, DESIGN, AND OVERALL CREATIVE DIRECTION OF THE PROJECT. HOWEVER, I ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE CODE. THE GAME WAS BUILT USING UNITY AND PROGRAMMED IN C#.DESPITE THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY THE LIMITED DEVELOPMENT WINDOW AND THE AMBITIOUS SCOPE, THE PROJECT CULMINATED IN A POLISHED DEMO THAT WAS WELL RECEIVED BY PLAYERS.

THIS WAS ANOTHER SOLO COLLEGE PROJECT. THE AIM WAS TO CREATE A 3D SHOOTER IN ANY STYLE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH AN ISOMETRIC LOW POLY LOOK.THIS PROJECT WAS ALSO CREATED IN UNITY USING C# AND A LOT OF CUSTOM SCRIPTS. THE MODELS WERE MADE IN BLENDER AND EXPORTED INTO THE GAME ENGINE, AFTER WHICH I CONNECTED THEIR ANIMATIONS TO ALLOW THEM TO MOVE SEAMLESSLY THROUGHOUT THE GAME WORLD.MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT CAN BE FOUND HERE;

THIS WAS A COLLEGE GROUP ANIMATION PROJECT WHERE WE WERE TASKED TO CREATE A 3D ANIMATION FOR AN IRISH HERITAGE FOUNDATION BASED OFF A SCRIPT PROVIDED BY THE GROUP.MY ROLE IN THIS PROJECT WAS MAINLY 3D ANIMATION AND MODELLING. HOWEVER, I ALSO HELPED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VISUAL STYLE, AS WELL AS CREATING THE STORYBOARDS AND PREVIS FOR THE SHORT.THIS PROJECT WAS A BIG STEP UP FROM PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS, HOWEVER I TACKLED IT WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
bojack horseman interview
A FAN ANIMATION I MADE TO IMITATE THE ART AND ANIMATION STYLE OF BOJACK HORSEMAN.BOJACK ANSWERS A QUESTION ABOUT HIS VOICE ACTOR, WILL ARNETT, BUT DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM.THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED IN ADOBE ANIMATE USING A COMBINATION OF NESTED SYMBOLS AND HAND DRAWN ANIMATION.
I FOUND WORKING ON THIS GAME AN INCREDIBLY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE ON THE TEAM ONLY MADE MY TIME AT SPOOKY DOORWAY EVEN MORE MEMORABLE.
the séance of blake manor
THE SÉANCE OF BLAKE MANOR IS AN INDIE DETECTIVE-HORROR GAME DEVELOPED BY SPOOKY DOORWAY AND PUBLISHED BY RAW FURY. IT WAS RELEASED IN 2025 AND RECEIVED OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE REVIEWS ON STEAM AND IN THE MEDIA.I WAS BROUGHT ON TO THIS PROJECT AS A JUNIOR 3D ARTIST TO ASSIST WITH CREATING ASSETS TO FILL OUT THE GAME WORLD WITH PERSONAL CHARACTER DETAILS AND CLUES. IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO DESIGN AND MODEL EACH PROP, AS WELL AS CREATE AND EXPORT THEIR TEXTURES, BEFORE SETTING THEM UP AS PREFABS IN UNITY.MY DAILY TASKS INCLUDED A MEETING WITH THE LEAD ARTIST TO DISCUSS WHAT PROPS NEEDED MODELLING, AS WELL AS LISTENING TO ANY FEEDBACK ON THE MODELS I WAS CURRENTLY WORKING ON. FROM THERE I WOULD IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES AND ITERATE THE MODEL AND TEXTURE UNTIL THE ART LEAD WAS SATISFIED.
GEMINI
IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD (DEMO)
THIS PROJECT BEGAN AS AN IDEA BETWEEN MYSELF AND TWO OF MY FRIENDS WHO SHARED THE GOAL OF CREATING A DARK BUT ENJOYABLE PLATFORMING GAME. AS WE DEVELOPED THE STORY AND REFINED THE CONCEPT OF THE GAME, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LARGEST PROJECT ANY OF US HAD WORKED ON. THEREFORE, TO MAKE IT MORE MANAGEABLE, WE DECIDED TO CREATE A DEMO FIRST IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST APPROACH TO THE FULL GAME, AND GAUGE PUBLIC INTEREST.I MAINLY FOCUSED ON THE ART AND DESIGN OF THE DEMO, WHILE ALSO OCCASIONALLY ASSISTING WITH THE CODE.WE BEGAN WITH VERY BASIC SCRIPTS AND ART TO GET THE CHARACTER MOVING, ATTACKING, AND ALL THE OTHER CORE GAMEPLAY FEATURES.
