It’s no secret: I love to jam! I got my start in the industry by making a mini-game every week. These days, I never turn down the opportunity to jam. Here are some of my past projects:
2022
Six Shots Per Minute-Man
Ludum Dare 51 (Compo). October, 2022. 48-hour solo jam.
You play as The Minuteman, and must repel the Redcoat invasion. I don’t often make combat games, so this was a nice change of pace.
2021
Antimatter
Game Makers Toolkit Jam. June 2021. 3 hour(!!) solo jam.
I almost didn’t participate in this jam, but then I changed my mind at the last minute. So I built an extremely tiny game in just over 3 hours.
Dog Walker
Google Stadia "Play Anywhere" Jam. March 2021. 1 week, team jam.
A multiplayer dog-walking simulator. You can play as a mix of dogs & humans, run around, and cause havoc. This game was sponsored by Google Stadia, and designed to be multiplayer. Read more about the event.
Sock me
Global Game Jam '21. January 2021. 72(ish) hour, team jam.
A multiplayer sock-matching card game! Play against your friends locally or against an AI.
