My Games
Fragmented Odyssey:
Fragmented Odyssey is a story driven 2D metroidvania-inspired puzzle platformer, in which you play as a shapeshifting chimera attempting to recover your previously complete form by collecting various animal body parts. The body parts can then be swapped and used for combat, manoeuvring and puzzle solving, with 21 unique animal parts to find.
My role for this game was Lead Designer, for which I designed 51 unique rooms, each with randomizable and reconfigurable options to create a new layout upon each entry. As well as the 21 animal parts, each with their own purpose and functionality including puzzle interaction, combat and movement. Additionally I designed 4 key puzzle rooms with unique puzzle mechanics, and 1 final boss room which combines puzzle solving, movement and combat.

GNAGASPP:
The Generically Name Animal Game Assortment Solo Party Pack is a satirical take on themes within the culture of gaming that are highlighted within my dissertation, Ecological Design for Video Games. The pack includes 3 mini-games; Pinata Survivors, Mazes & Moos and Super Hive Bees. Each based on an existing game, with twists highlighting ecological issues within video games.
Pinata Survivors is a game tackling animal violence, and the treatment of animals within games. It was inspired by research undertaken into suggesting video games create a desensitivity towards animal violence. In this roguelike shoot-em-up you are prey rather than predator attempting to survive the slaughterhouse amidst disillusions of bubble and balloons.
Mazes & Moos is a turn-based CowPG (Cow Playing Game) in which all characters are cows, as a comment on animal representation with video games. With mechanics traditional of an old school RPG, Mazes & Moos has the player attempt to escape a maze filled with various themed cow enemies.
Super Hive Bees is a platformer in which you take control of the last bee alive in a hive, attempting to save the hive from destruction at the hands of the exterminator and his robo-bees. Traverse past obstacles and undefeatable enemies to find the source of the hives decay, all while passing the remnants of you fellow bees.
This pack was released for free, with all players encouraged to donate and support various animal related charities, or animal charities of their choice, following the conclusion of each game.
Disclaimer: I love all the games copied for this project, that was the primary reason for their selection rather than because I dislike them.
