Whimsical Audio Design & Voice Acting

Ragnars rock

A game jam experience in which the 8-member team set out to make a 2D game work within Unreal Engine.

I served as a producer and engineer, bridging the gap between technologies, GIT merge strategies, and design.

Voiceover

Voice acting is one of my favorite ways to express myself. I have a lifelong passion for vocalizing renowned characters and many characters of my own creation.

Character styles include anime, game characters, narrator, over-the-top silly, exaggerated, joyful, angery, serious, monsters, wizards, and much more! Sound-proofing and editing included.

Game Level Design

Even the most awe-inspiring game environments cannot make up for a poorly designed level. I want the player to feel free on my levels, not penned up in a zoo. I add eye-catching elements to point players in the right direction with reasonable distractions along the way.

Ramping difficulty, balanced enemy combat, and non-linear gameplay are key examples of how I build worlds and levels.

TECHNICAL NARRATIVE DESIGN

Narrative Design and Dialogue Writing are top on my list when it comes to game development and design. I've worked on hundreds of lines of dialogue and carefully woven narrative.

Some of my work includes branching dialogue with NPCs, key plot points, character good/evil alignment, quest-building, and lore pieces. I have worked on the narrative design, writing, and implementation of complex stories and plots.

Creative Writing

Amidst the technical rift of proverbial ones and zeros, I enjoy writing too. Click the image to the left or this header to read some stories I've written.

I enjoy writing stories using classic story building with emphasis on a mentored hero. I weave these stories into my gameplay and especially enjoy branching choices and interactive tales.

I'm the Narruto of Game Dev. Believe it! Despite any challenges, I'll find my way to reach the top and spread joy through games.

My personal interests include action, sci-fi, and anime movies/shows, GMing D&D games, gaming of any kind, doing game jams, going to huge gaming/anime events, and showcasing my latest games at large events.

I collaborate and assist with events held by Baltimore Indie Games and IGDA Baltimore Chapter.

I love a challenge and I absolutely love game development.
