Judging the dead isn't easy work.

But that is your job. Which souls go to Heaven, and which go to Hell?

As a demon yourself, you do have a vested interest in sending some people to Hell - your boss has given you a quota - not that he ever tells you what that is. But don't you feel a little bad for some of these people? 

The Grave Shift is a point and click narrative game about judging souls. Initially made for the Threshold prompt for #gameaweek2024, but updated with post jam content. Made by @nxcturnalknight (x), Robinicus, Madfizz, and zephyreds.

Play now on itch.io!

Newest video is a fun one! Writing some dynamic enemy AI for our platformer game. I didn't want to do traditional pathfinding or waypoints - but instead have our lil guy actually thinking for himself!

Make Art Development

Make Art was made as an Independent Study project this past semester (Fall 2022). I wanted to try out a longer-term project since all of the prototypes I'd worked on up until this point were 1-5 weeks.

Over the summer, I came up with three different ideas I could spend the semester: a 2D game, a tabletop game, and a 3D game. Obviously, I settled on the first idea. In retrospect, I'm really glad I chose to work on Make Art -- I've learned a lot by making this game that I wouldn't have otherwise.

It was slow but exciting progress over the course of the semester -- first getting a drawing system working, then implementing the AI, working out the layering, and then getting the AI to draw curves.

Throughout all of this, my goals for the game changed a lot. I started this project back in August (or even October 2021, if you want to go by the first version of the prototype), and the situation surrounding AI art has changed a lot between then and now. And my thoughts about this project have also undergone a lot of changes as a result.

At the start, the game was going to be more dark. You teach this AI to draw as a means of teaching it about abstract emotion -- and over the course of the game, it works to mimic you until it can create near-perfect forgeries.

Because of what I was seeing in the world around me (aaaand because of technical limitations), that didn't end up happening. Instead, Make Art is much more comedic and friendly. The AI, Marcel, is no longer the player's student -- he's their friend. You just play these little drawing games together with no regard for technical skill or artistic merit.

(Left: my drawing of a bird. Right: Marcel's drawing of a bird.)

It was a bit of a limp to the finish line with this project, finals season was tough this semester. I didn't quite have the time to finish up everything I wanted to, so I decided to get that done now!

All in all, this was a really valuable project to get to work on before I start thesis work next fall and I'm happy with how it turned out :-)

Make Art is now available to play in browser or to download for Mac & Windows on itch.io

I Made A Game!!!!!

I had to make a simple game for my game development midterm, and I wanted to share it, this isn’t meant to be a completed game, but I am considering turning this into a full game sometime in the future. I hope you like it, and I only made the visual assets. The people who made the audio assets I used I credited in the video’s discription.

Ugh, I’m not entirely sure why Unity and Visual Studio are being so... flaky lately.

I want to work on Unity, but I also want to use Visual Studio for coding...
