<p>Project 1, The Lighthouse:</p>\r\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a single player demo of the first school project I worked on, it&rsquo;s a top down tps-shooter called The Lighthouse, I worked with some minor level design (blockouts), sound design (some of the music and sound effects), balance and playtesting. It was a 5-week project that we didn&rsquo;t really have the time to finish, we aimed for too much content and it wasn&rsquo;t polished enough.</p>\r\n<p>Gameplay: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bekKUt57_Y0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bekKUt57_Y0</a></p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>Project 2, Low-life:</p>\r\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the second school project I worked on, it&rsquo;s a graphic adventure game in the style of Grim Fandango. It&rsquo;s set in a bug world inside a tree stump and it&rsquo;s heavily inspired by 1930s Chicago and the mob culture. I worked on pretty much everything design-related in this game; it was my game concept that got chosen to be done as a 9-week project, so I&rsquo;m responsible for everything pre-conceptual.</p>\r\n<p>What I personally did was to write the story and script, I constructed the puzzles, worked closely with the programmers to solve mostly state-related issues, worked with voice actors (held auditions, directed, edited). I also had final say on all gameplay-related matters.</p>\r\n<p>Intro: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n812poO5Q0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n812poO5Q0</a></p>\r\n<p>Gameplay: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL3Vzk1F3mc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL3Vzk1F3mc</a></p>
