Our Short-Term Youth - a playable RPG
This was a two-person project made throughout Spring 2021.
The goal was to create a story, characters, and assets for a role-playing game made in RPG Maker. RPG Maker VX Ace was used, as well as multiple pre-made assets credited on the itch.io page, and Adobe Photoshop.
Check out the game here:

Some things I focused on for this project:
creating assets (characters, tilesets/environments, and objects)
writing a cohesive, interesting narrative
collaborating with one other person on a daily basis
keeping a running game design document up to date (39 pages - seen below!)
Here is a screenshot from the game, featuring a character I created and made the sprites/dialogue profiles for. Also included are two GIFs of the character walking, using the sprite sheet I made.
I also made the title screen.

Concert promo
This promo features my graphic design and work with audio, timing, and animating. Adobe Premiere and After Effects were used extensively, culminating various skills and tricks important to visually appealing and engaging short form content.

Narrative Design
Pumpkin in the Forest - game design document
This project involved creating a game design document (GDD) with creating a world, characters, quests, locations, and more. The game is titled "Pumpkin in the Forest" - a story about a gerbil named Pumpkin who gets lost in a forest. While trying to investigate a mystery, Pumpkin makes many friends, and you are introduced to many fun, interesting locations.
There are also two cutscenes in the GDD, one toward the beginning to represent the introduction and one toward the end to represent a confrontation toward the end.

"Ancient Terminal" - pattern composition
Made in Adobe Photoshop.
"photos from a concert" - irony
Made in Adobe Photoshop, the photos were taken by me during a concert. The goal of this piece was to make a collage with photos that somehow convey a sense of irony or satire.
