Bus Bingo

Do you love people watching? Need something to eat up time during your morning commute?
Even if you said 'no' to both of those questions, you need Bus Bingo!

Bus Bingo is the perfect game to play while you're on your ride home or to distract you from the heavy breather on your right reading your text messages!

Made specifically for the San Francisco Muni Transit system, Bus Bingo will get you eager to see that couple with six pieces of luggage or that guy drinking in the back at 8:30am.

Rumble Box

Rumble Box was a collaborative effort between myself and Joe Bourrie as our college senior project. It was a winner of the 2006 Slamdance Guerilla Gamemaker Competition and a runner-up in the 2006 IGF Main Competition for Innovation in Game Design.

Rumble Box is a fast-paced beat-em-up with a unique premise: every character remains present after being defeated. Defeat waves of enemies to stack up their bodies and create piles high enough to get out of the box!

Little Lost Ladybugs

Quick prototype of an idea I had for a "collect the objects" puzzle game where a majority of the information is hidden to the player. The player guides a lightning bug around the playspace, seeking out the lost ladybugs. Dangers and puzzle pieces are uncovered as the lightning bug shines light on them.

Click and drag to create a path for the Lightning Bug. Click and Hold to make the Lightning Bug shine brighter. Collect three ladybugs to advance to the next level.

2d Stealth Prototype

I love stealth and wanted to test out an abstract representation. The enemies respond to observed movement by yelling (emitting circle bursts), calm down when left alone, and can be killed by being touched. If the player moves slow enough through the terrain, he won't be noticed, or he can instantly pounce a short distance for a cooldown penalty.

Press spacebar to pause/unpause. Click the player and drag to move him. Hold the right mouse button to charge and release to pounce.

Three Evils Prototype

A friend had an idea for a game that involved controlling three characters (à la Lost Vikings) with the limitations that one could only see, one only hear, and the other only speak. This was a quick proto I mocked up for that idea. The balls bouncing around represent sound.
The prototype wasn't a failure, but the obvious flaws are that the sight character is a tad "over powered" and there's no benefit to splitting the players up.

'q', 'w', and 'e' switch players. Number pad moves current character. Press space to shout with 'e' character. Shouting destroys enemies and some walls. Avoid enemies and traps, get to the goal, and keep an eye out for secret areas.

Color Connection Prototype

A clumsy attempt at coming up with a game mechanic that featured combining colors. I later gave up on the 'drag a line to connect' idea but loved the suffocating feeling the black squares give you.

Press spacebar to begin (and pause/unpause). Click a square and drag to another that, when combined, will create the color defined by the background. Red + Blue = Purple, etc. Press 'r' to reset.

Color Grid Prototype

An evolution of the Color Connection Prototype above, the Color Grid Prototype retains the suffocating black squares, but replaces the matching element. In this prototype, you have to slide the grid's rows or columns to create a rectangle of matching colors.

Press spacebar to pause/unpause. Click and drag a tile to slide the row or column. Slide tiles around to create rectangles.

CBA Beer Pong

A simple, single player beer pong game I made for a friend's MySpace group. Yes, I will admit I used to have a MySpace page.

Instructions are in the game and it features sweet art by me.

Five Forgotten Stones of San Francisco

Five Forgotten Stones of San Francisco is a free, community-based activity centered around the exploration of public parks in the city of San Francisco.

Part scavenger hunt, part interactive puzzle, the Five Forgotten Stones project was inspired by modern treasure hunts. Read the 'About' section for more information.
