Game Development

Since 2018, I've been making games for weekend-long game jams. I have been the project/art/writing lead for all the ones below. Games are my favorite type of interactive media as a consumer, and I've enjoyed making them as an artist/dev who loves digital media and story-telling.

Lucky Little Darlings

created for LDJAM #55

LLD is a hidden object game with mostly narrative elements, focusing on a trio of siblings that have magical capabilities. They run an online shop of retro/vintage items that are cloned with magic, but it isn't bringing in enough money, so they decide to summon lovable creatures to make a business with them that will capture the adoration of the masses(because they are so cute and cute sells).
