I was apart of the Advanced Games Project (AGP) class of USC Games as a student assistant.Under this role, I assisted the usability faculty for the class in providing feedback to each student team (total 10). We reviewed their playtest reports, questionnaires, design problems, etc. Through this job, I furthered my skills in providing cohesive and meaningful feedback on usability and design issues, as well as identifying problems in a user's play experience.

Embower is a 2D platformer about a young boy who travels the world, purifying trees of toxins by hugging their hearts. This project was developed in an Intermediate Game Design course, where I partnered with one other student. During that time, I was the level designer on the project, where I got to work on:- Gameplay / Level Design- Small Puzzle Scripting (C#; platform / enemy movement)- UI Control, Scene Management in Unity- Narrative / World Building- Pixel / Graphics artAfter the class ended, I wanted to take the project further to polish the levels that were already completed. I recruited another programmer to join the team, and delegated tasks to him. This included pointing him to important bugs that needed to be solved, and giving him the information he needed through GDDs to complete his tasks.Embower is now finished, and is available to play for free! A download link can be found on my portfolio website.
