PORTFOLIO
Homeless
Homeless is a simulation game that puts the player in the shoes of a homeless avatar trying to survive on the streets of Vancouver. The game aimed to raise awareness about homelessness, while also raising money for charities that support the homeless by collecting donations through in-app purchases. The idea was that every time a player purchased an item in the game to help their virtual avatar, a percentage of the amount they paid would go directly to a charity to help a real homeless person in need.
Cackleberries
Cackleberries is an online virtual world filled with colourful characters, games, activities, songs, stories, and lots of educational content. It reminds me of the Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a kid and also has a Sesame Street vibe to it. The game is used to teach children English through their exploration of a town called Oville. Players can meet the characters in the game and interact with them in order to access a variety of educational content.
Shank
Shank is a side-scrolling beat ’em up with a comic book art style and a Tarantino film feel. In the game the player controls Shank, an ex-mob hitman seeking revenge against his old mob boss for murdering his girlfriend. Shank aims to accomplish this with an arsenal of weapons that includes knives, heavy melee weapons, and firearms that combine into slick combos with beautifully brutal attacks.
The Perfect Job
The Perfect Job is a game about becoming a professional thief by planning and executing increasingly difficult burglaries. Playing as Otto, a small time thief who has just been sprung from jail by a notorious mob boss, you must perfect your burglary skills in order to pull off jobs to repay the man who helped you escape. Each level has you robbing a new building for a specific item, but you are free to explore and steal additional loot along the way. You can use the money that you earn to make the next level easier by paying off guards, disabling cameras, and other tricks.
