Selected Portfolio
Asteroids
Manage player health, asteroid hits, and vital repair parts in this cooperative strategy game. Your team of four, each with their own role and special ability, have to gather the correct parts to repair the five Main Stations of the ship in order to survive the asteroid belt. Teamwork is vital, as you have limited health and your ship can only take so much damage before it gives out. Help each other where you can and strategise to make the most of your moves, and you might just survive. Available on the Tabletop Simulator Steam Workshop.
Digital Imaging Collage
A set of collage pieces that combine illustration, photography, texture, and 3D models. Themed around women from Greek mythlogy, but with a new framing. Galatea gains sentience of her own accord, remaining a statue but alive nonetheless; Penelope's faithfulness and patience becomes cunning and strategy; Atalanta is redrawn from a virginal maiden to a skilled and accomplished hunter.
fitzroy.
A virtual reality experience where you play as a young girl skulking through her own house, looking for the torn-up and scattered parts of her teddy bear. As you explore her house, you find memories and glimpses of her troubled life. Created in Unreal Engine.
FAD Pamphlet
