Magic Shoppe

The Magic Shoppe was part of my master's thesis. As solo project over one semester the documentation and the visualization of the main shoppe area were created.

Note: The installer includes only the realization of he shoppe itself, and is an ongoing project.

Skyport

The goal behind Skyport was to create a CTF space with two approaches — a tight, dangerous straight shot, and a safer, team-oriented path.

 

This was a solo project, I also created all the textures and models for the environment.

Amaranthine

The outdoor area is a long trench peppered with cover. The interior is riddled with pipes the players can hide behind, and function like see-through walls.

 

Also, I created all the textures and models for the environment.

State

State was a project done for the Game Production Lab at UT Dallas. I served as level designer and asset artist for the game. It was designed as an asynchronous strategy game where each player runs to their home base in the fewest number of moves. Players drop traps against each other to slow them down, so the player who lays the best traps and gets to base fastest wins.

Blossom

A much larger project, Blossom is a complete game experience spanning three puzzle-solving levels. I served as a level designer and also provided creative direction to the team. It's an idea that the team had held on to for a long time, and we're happy to have had the chance to finally make it!

My work specifically on the Sewers level included modeling, texturing, lighting, and design & scripting.

FPCT

The First Person Cultural Trainer (FPCT) is an ongoing project at UT Dallas, through TRADOC/G2. I worked for three years with the team as a level designer. There, I was responsible for designing environment, creating structural meshes like buildings and huts, and set dressing.
