Sweet Dreams, Roguelike Jam 3, 2022
This was a project that was developed in Unity over two weeks for Roguelike Jam 3, the theme was ‘flavorful’. The final project was a procedural dungeon crawler with turn based combat encounters with a particular focus on exploration. The game came 1st place Overall, 1st place for Fun, 1st place for Innovation, and 1st place for Theme.
Shadow World, Kiwijam 2022
Shadow World was a game made in 48 hours using Unity for Kiwijam 2022. The theme of the jam was ‘together’ which we expressed through a two character puzzle platformer. The game-play is focused on a series of machines with the ability to split you and other objects into a light and shadow part that each occupy different planes of reality. You solve puzzles by interacting with these two worlds.
Kaitiaki Harvest, Regenerate Game Jam Matariki 2022
Kaitiaki Harvest was a game made using Unity in 48 hours for Regenerate Game Jam Matariki 2022. The game is based around the idea of regenerative Maori foraging practices which was expressed through top down exploration and basic plant harvesting mechanics. The game came in 3rd place for Best use of theme, and 3rd place for Most likely to make an impact.
Water Creature Land Creature, Game Jam Aotearoa 2022
Water Creature Land Creature was a game made using Unity in 48 hours for the Game Jam Aotearoa 2022 following the theme of ‘Transition’. The game was a platformer where you play as a creature in a constant state of evolution between being adapted for land or adapted for water. The goal of the game is to reach the end of the level without becoming stuck in either state (water or land); getting though the level requires use of the player character’s differing movement and abilities that change depending on where they are between the two states.
