Shattered Minds: Masquerade

Vast Studios

Platform: PC / Mac

My most recent game, Shattered Minds: Masquerade is a mystery adventure game about an attack on Mardi Gras led by an evil former magician who has a dark secret.

Shattered Minds allowed me to express my storytelling side. It was a lot of fun to write a murder-mystery story with a plot twist. The review on Gamezebo.com praised the game for having an "intriguing plot".

With this project, as game designer I took on many roles including: story writing, script writing, gameplay development, event planning as well as working with an outside team that worked on the development of most of the game's visual content.

Selected as a premium "Collector's Edition" release on Big Fish Games, the game was released in November, 2011 and ranked in the top 100 games as a #3 best seller in December, 2011.

Mega Man II

Platform: iPhone

I worked in a production role to bring Mega Man II to the iPhone.

I worked very closely with the team involved in this project, especially during the development of the v1.5 update, to ensure that the game is as accurate and fun as possible on the platform. I pushed to ensure that the necessary effort was put forth to make this a reality.

The experience gained from this project has prepared me for the challenges of time and quality management, to ensure that any game that I work on will be the best it can be.
