We set out to make a quick horror-puzzler since funding is rare these days. What we ended up making is so much more than I could have hoped. Super proud of what 5 people working mostly part-time could accomplish, and I have so much gratitude to this tiny team, and all the people that helped!

Impeccable vibes, awesome sound design and music, and a laser focus on tension with minimal fluff.
And of course, I love a game where the Player has a big ol' helmet on their head and limited mobility. 😅

More work from my backlog, and a personal favorite bc this was my first ever attempt at any sort of character design. The intended platform for this render was IG, which lets you pair stuff with music, so since cant do that here imagine Health is playing lol

it feeds a dark impulse at the heart of suburban life but if anyone sold one of those video enabled bird cameras with a little punching glove on a robot arm that you could use to knock off squirrels you'd make a trillion dollars

some quick colourways I did for fun taking a break from actual detailing/refining. It's a weird one cause I want to hit at some hard surface functionality while still making it feels like an abstract/grown thing

Hannah is an incredible writer who always looks to take on new challenges and build her skills up to support any game she’s on. There is nothing that daunts her or that she says “no a writer doesn’t do that” she’s a full team player. I hope someone grabs her quick. She’s incredible.
Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Hello #PitchYaGame Excited to share a game I'm working on -- CRUSH DEPTH. It's an atmospheric, retro-inspired horror game where you explore a wrecked station at the bottom of the ocean. According to at least one play tester it's, "pants-poopingly scary" store.steampowered.com/app/3938760/...

Doing some more work with Basic Cable Games on their chef character
I'm excited to get to this point because I'm FINALLY working on the stylized shading for this, and I can already see a ton of ways to improve and push it towards looking like their concept art

Just finished folk horror detective game The Séance Of Blake Manor. Incredible stuff. Game of the year type shit. Most satisfying virtual sleuthing I've done since The Roottrees Are Dead. Absolutely hypnotised me for 15 hours. Art, music, sense of place, characters, mood, voice acting: all superb.
