Game Projects

Projects from my game design studies at Futuregames where I’m currently studying to become a game designer. I’ll be graduating in 2025.

Murder On The Rocks - Group Project

A bartending murder mystery game concept created over 7 weeks with a team of 13. I was responsible for narrative design, dialogue, script writing, and the music.

Wizard in the Wild - Group Project

A fantasy adventure game concept created during a 4 week visual scripting course with a team of 3. I was responsible for dialogue & quests, UI, audio, and player stats.

Starbound - Solo Game Project

An audio-based narrative project using Fabella, and my first interactive story. Starbound is set in the same world as my level project Amtharus and follows a younger version of Karis before she has her own ship.
