- Class of 2023

I am an undergraduate at CMU studying Computer Science and Music Composition. I'm extremely interested in creative sound implementation in games, and I love sound design and music creation of all kinds! I also enjoy game design and creatively designing around player motivation. Some of my inspirations are Transistor (or anything Supergiant), Overwatch, and Hollow Knight.

Tanks In Advance takes a simple 1v1 tank game and adds a time-traveling twist! Each round, record your movements as you try to destroy the other player's tanks. Then, in the next round, battle alongside your past selves from previous rounds to defeat your opponent. Tanks In Advance features 5 different types of tanks, giving you plenty of room for creative, mind-bending strategies.To win, destroy all your opponents' tanks in the final round, or have more tanks in the central circle when time runs out! If your current tank dies, you will be able to still move and record movements as a ghost. These movements will play out if your tank survives in a future round.Controllers are *strongly* recommended! Movement: Left Stick / WASD + OKL; Aim: Right Stick / TFGH + arrow keys Shoot: Right Bumper / L+R ShiftThe source code can be found here.

Guilty Goose is a fighting game, where birds fight to the death. It's totally not a parody of Guity Gear. No, that is not Juri from Street Fighter, they are completely different.

Haunted is a VR horror game where the only enemy is yourself. In this game, there are no monsters or enemies that hurt you, instead, the only way to lose is if you get scared. You woke up in a completely dark house with only a candle in your hand. If you wave your hand too fast, the candle goes out, and game over. The game consists of six rooms, each room has a unique set of mechanics that will be randomly activated. You need to reclaim three memory shards that are randomly scattered in some of the six rooms. As you regain more memory from the shards, you gradually realize the unspeakable things that happened in this house ...

Zombox is an isometric zombie-shooter game inspired by Boxhead. While still paying homage to its inspiration through its visuals, Zombox provides more exciting gameplay through its aesthetic maps and boss-fight. Will you be able to survive and clear the game?
