You are a band of adventurers who have been working for a man named Sir Rodrick Kneelman. 

He reaches out to your band and asks you to investigate a weird occurrence involving fruits and vegetables.. 

This is a homebrew dnd5 campaign I have been writing and playing for the past couple of years. 
This year I will play it through with one more table before compiling it into a guide for people to download and play. 

It features an illustrated twenty page campaign guide, papercraft character mini's, five illlustrated encounter maps, item cards and other hand-outs. Play time is roughly 6-10 four hour sessions.

The Awesome In-House Gamejam was a bunch of friends having a gamejam together. 
We made a platformer that looked friendly on the face of it, but revealed a darker world every time you got hurt.

Top-Down Cadet is a little top down flyer-shooter game I made to teach myself gamemaker, GML and functional art.

You're an interstellar gateway operator! Your job is to make sure every ship in the 'verse arrives at their desired destination. How? Just connect two gateways on your monitor screen using cables and make sure those travelers go through safely. 

 

For this gamejam I did the UI design and animation, 2D art and collaborated on game design.

ARRRR ME HEARTIES! You just completed a good ol’ raid and now it’s time to set sail to yer own cove. There’s only one tiny little problem: your ship’s wheel broke off. But with some skill you can still steer the ship back home! Collect shiny loot on your way home, and balance it on the ships deck to steer it in the right direction. But beware of the enemies! Kill ‘em by shooting your loot on their ships. Just drag it into the cannons and FIRE! No more loot left? Maybe that broken wheel can still be of use… The goal: keep yer shit straight and get to the pub! Drink up me hearties!

For this gamejam I did the UI design and animation, some vfx and level design. I also contributed on game design.
