A DASH OF THYME
A Dash of Thyme is a simple puzzle platformer created using JavaScript and the Phaser library. The premise is that our little chef needs to create the perfect grilled cheese for a cooking competition. He needs to traverse the level to obtain as much cheese as he can, and he must grab the bread to exit the door. On the way, he must avoid all the rats in the way (he wants to avoid a health code violation of course). To top it all off, our chef needs to do this all really quickly to gain a leg up in the competition - he has 30 seconds to make the perfect grilled cheese. We wanted to be a little silly with it, so we made his rival Mr. Guy Fieri of the famous "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives", so you will catch glimpses of him throughout the game either crying when he loses or gloating when he wins.
I worked primarily with JavaScript coding and Guy Fieri implementation, Maddalen worked on coding and music, and Yan and Charity worked on art for the project.

CONTESTED SKIES
Contested Skies is a scrolling shooter arcade-style game created during the Southern Student Summer Jam - a week long game creation event for university students in the U.S. Southeast. Our game focuses on Pigun, a messenger pigeon who's the only hope for conveying key war information after all communication lines were cut. The player has to navigate Pigun to make it through the barrage of obstacles and make it to the front lines.
Ethan and Daniel worked on the bulk of programming and art, and I worked on the audio and music components for the game. We ended up winning #1 Overall, #1 Art, #4 Design, and #1 Sound.

GUN WITH LEGS
Gun With Legs is a run-and-gun metroidvania platformer game. This game was created with a large group at Georgia Tech's Video Game Development club (VGDev) with Ethan Yu leading the project. I primarily worked on pixel art and animation for this game.
The art and animation I made for this game includes the RPG, the Dual-Wielding Pistol, and the Basic Enemy. This was my first foray into pixel art and animation, but I am pretty proud of what I was able to accomplish.
