>Chef Niya trailer

      In the same project as the last, though a massively different section. I wrote the script for the Chef Niya trailer. My boss also wanted some supplemental material for advertisement, and I took initiative and wrote the script for the trailer. Specifically this was a two column script, I balanced both time and visuals, keeping up my own enjoyment as well. I used Celtex, and my own, sheer human determination. While I did not have as much of a hand as I would have liked in the final product, as I was not able to animate in Unreal at the time, I still enjoy watching it.

    > Boxing Demo

      "Boxing" is a short demo for a narrative game. Including an opening text crawl that is player controlled, a narrative environment, and contextual environment effects. So far, this is my favorite I've completed. It was my first Unreal project, getting to know the ropes, ways I could break it, etc. While it was a steep learning curve, as combining the movement of doors, the movement of text, camera and audio effects was hard as a beginner, my passion and unflinching work ethic carried me along. I did this project alone, simply to improve my own skills as a dev.

      > This site

      This website was a small passion project. I made this with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I’m proud of its metaphorical value. HTML is not hard. Most programming is a specific subset of math under unintuitive constraints known as computer architecture, then Operating system, then engine, and then you own work elsewhere. HTML, on the other hand, is basically highlighting. And while I was re-making my portfolio, debating transferring it to any standard or boring Wix or such service, I wondered how that would reflect on me as a dev unwilling to go the extra mile. Then I realized just using HTML looked bad, so I added the BOIDs over the course of, as I’ll say, many extra miles.

    > Lobbi Boyz

      Lobbi Boyz is an irreverent card game. Designed in a group. Through it, I learned quite a bit of boardgame design, but that was not the hard part. The major problem with this project was creative conflicts. In short, me and my team wanted to make an intense game, like cards against humanity, however, we were submitting this to my alma mater, and they did not want something raunchy. Talking with my team, our main artist was not going to make a product without some amount of intensity. So we compromised. The solution I was able to achieve with my team was pretty simple: Critique online stock brokers. Not only could we avoid raunchy humor, but we could still give harsh critique on the fallout and dangers of wall street bets and other 4chan stock strategies. With that, and my hard work with writing and design, we had a full, fun game that the professor laughed at multiple times.
