Titles
Combat Champions
A fast-paced, first-person shooter where players drive the crowd wild with over-the-top stunts and map-altering destruction.
I contributed procedural animation systems and solutions for both first and third person, helped with animation debugging in and out of engine, and streamlined our mocap workflow from recording to implementation.
CRLT: The Incident
"The Incident" combines the engaging features of a video game with traditional elements of tabletop exercises to provide a dynamic training simulation for first responders, school faculty, religious safety teams, and their leaders.
I was in charge of all animation, rigging, and animation programming.
War Smith
A couch co-op tower defense game created by me and three of my peers under the name Coalescent Studio. I am responsible for all rigging and animation. I also had my hand in all of the gameplay programming (UE4 blueprints). War Smith was released Q1 of 2020 and is free to download on Steam:
Neverboard
This was a VR project that I did contract work for from July 2020 through November 2021. I did VFX and animation work for the Crazy 8 game mode. The work I did can be seen from 0:14 - 0:16: the animation of the 3D suit icons, as well as the suit explosion VFX.
About Me
I am a 2020 graduate from Purdue University, with a double-major in Animation and Game Development & Design, and I've always loved playing and making games. I aspire to bring characters to life in a way that's fun to watch and satisfying to play. I am seeking full-time and contracting opportunities to expand my knowledge, grow as an artist and developer, and last but not least, make some awesome games!
