I’ve worked for seven years at a nursing school, making educational games and training apps. Here are a few.

Web and mobile training app for nurses working in small clinics.

Tablet-based education for dealing with heart failure. Illustrations in the same style were used in later projects.

Involve (2018)

Contests & Game Jams

I’ve participated in many game jams and contests. Here are some of my favorites.

Finding Yourself (2017)

2d illustration

For the 2017 Cleveland Summer Game Jam, my wife and I worked on a text game called Finding Yourself. She did the writing; I made the art. You can play it on the web.

Null Wave (2017)

programming, 3d modeling, texturing

Null Wave was a 3d platformer made for the 2017 Global Game Jam. My whole goal was to make something worth working on after the jam was over, and I think I succeeded.

Rusted Embers (2015)

programming, 3d modeling, texturing

Rusted Embers was made for the 2015 Global Game Jam, the first time my wife and I collaborated during a jam. It was a wonderful experience that has led to several more collaborations.

Exposure (2014)

programming, 3d modeling, texturing

Exposure was my entry for the 2014 Global Game Jam, my attempt at a Myst-like puzzler. I didn’t get very far, but there are parts of the environment I still really like.

The Butterfly and the Beanstalk (2013)

programming, 3d modeling, texturing

The Butterfly and the Beanstalk, made for the 2013 Cleveland Summer Game Jam, was a sort-of racer that emphasized calmness and small, controlled movements over intense action.
