Carrying a political theme, this casual game was intended to partner with real organizations, and strive to reach beyond simply entertainment but to connect our player’s virtual experiences with issues, events, and initiatives in the real world.

An original game with an emphasis on exploration and environmental education. The player assumes the role of a parrot trying to get to the bottom ocean. It's "an aquatic adventure game with parrots, whales, and piracy!"

Being the sole developer on this game prototype, I developed the game design and mechanics. I wrote some code, created all 3D models, animations, FXs, and UI.  

Created menu screen flows and low- and medium-fidelity wireframes, maintained documentation, oversaw the development of menu and in-game UI for console video game. View final product here.

Leveraged playful diagrams and wireframes, and rough 3D placeholder assets to communicate overall game design moments, mechanics, and IP personality and charm.

Created non-violent exploration gameplay focused on the player remaining hidden from sight, and the cooking meals (before that was a thing). View final product here.

Created level tile systems to enable early level design and testing, increased understanding of art asset and camera needs, increase in production speed, and consistency. View final product here.
