Fire Emblem NES Remake
Technical Designer, Programmer, Voxel Artist
A full 3D Remake of Chapter 1: Marth Embarks from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.
This project was a personal design and programming challenge that required me to design and implement solutions for Fire Emblem's Inventory and Battle Systems in Unity, along with recreating the behavior of the original Enemy AI, Unit Selection, and Grid Details. I additionally added 3D voxel models for the art and some quality-of-life updates to turn the remake into something special.

Cawtographer
Gameplay Designer, Map System Programmer
Cawtographer is an exploration and puzzle game split into two distinct gameplay phases. The first phase of each level is exploration, where players navigate the maze in a first-person view to find the exit while observing monster and collectable positions.
Then players plot their journey on a top-down map of the maze navigated in order to guide Hermes to the exit safely. Monster, Exits, and Locked doors are not marked on the map, so players must use their memory and landmarks placed by chirping to draw a successful path.
