Project Darkwater

A free-to-play pirate MMORPG revival

A volunteer-run, non-profit revival of a now defunct MMORPG, set in a pirate world. The project began in April 2025 and has grown from five people to 21. The game is free to play and earns no revenue. As creative lead, I run four departments (Audio, Animation, 3D Art, and 2D Art) and handle the art documentation, such as the Art Style Guide. I also work on design and build the website.

Project Gardener

A route-focused speedrunning movement shooter

Players use gardening tools as weapons and as movement: when one runs out of ammo, its special action launches you across the map. Levels are timed, with medals and global leaderboards. The team at Original Bug Games has attended showcases and occasionally runs virtual QA testing.

Pandora's Party Box

A Greek mythology party game of competitive minigames

A party game built from short competitive minigames, each themed around Greek mythology. I worked on it during my internship at A Square Games & Simulation. I made the lobby flames and wisps and the VFX for the Shot Guesser, Grape Stomp, Leopard Tug, and Hera Chase minigames, the environment and lighting for Shot Guesser and Leopard Tug, lighting and terrain textures for Grape Stomp, and props across several levels. I also made much of the Dionysus UI, including the Dionysus icon and the poisoned chalice icon.

Light Reforged

A steampunk retelling of Baldr's return

An action-adventure game that retells the Norse story of Loki killing Baldr and Baldr returning to take back his rightful place, set in a steampunk world. Baldr travels the Nine Realms to clear away the technology Loki built. I made props and environment pieces such as the Thor and Loki totems, rusted armor, wooden docks, and modular pipes, along with VFX such as lightning strikes, portals, and steam bursts.
