Moonblade

Mooonblade Screenshot
Moonblade is a game I have been working on just for fun. It's a JRPG in the style of Final Fantasy or Suikoden. It's a game that has evolved a lot over the years. The battle system meshes old school turn based combat with action, it's similar to the PS1 classic Xenogears. Whenever I need a break from Tyrant of Terror I like to work on Moonblade.
Tyrant of Terror
User Interface
Tyrant of Terror Interface
This is the interface that player's will encounter most often during their time with the Tyrant. This interface lets you summon minions and set traps on the battlefield. Any summoning action taken will cost spirit points. (top left corner) On the bottom left you will see the Tyrany meter. This meter fills up over time, when it is full it pulsates and emits the sound of a roaring demon. When the meter is full you can click on it to summon the Tyrant himself into the battle for a short time. The Tyrant is a force to be reckoned with on the field. In addition to that you can see a button for the main menu (top right) and a collapsable mini map. (bottom right) Click here for a more detailed breakdown.

Mad Science
Company Logo

I wanted our logo to be cool and kind of unusual. It's pretty rare for a logo to exhibit danger and grittyness, but we thought this expressed the company I want to build pretty well.
Hero Castle Defense
Title Scren Art
Hero Castle Defense
I am helping out with Holy Fire Game's debut title Hero Castle Defense! Hero Castle Defense is a MOBA style game where players dozens of players battle it out in real time.

Below you can see the process I went through to draw this title screen art.
Attitude
Concept Art

This was concept art I did for a project a while back. This illustrates the antagonist of the game, he imagines himself to be much bigger and badder than he actually is. Then some dark magic happens and he actually becomes the fearsome beast of his dreams.

Mockup
Heart Of The Forest
I have been working on the upcoming iOS game Heart Of The Forest as a game designer, UI/UX designer, producer, and sometimes artist. This is a mockup of the gameplay screen, I did everything you see here. Heart Of The Forest is a free-to-play puzzle game that will follow the adventures of Steeltip from the Tellest universe. One of the goals of this game is to bring an already established brand into a new medium, and to bring some attention towards the Tellest books. Tellest is a really fantastic fantasy world and I urge you to check it out!

Treasure Map

Treasure Map - Screenshot
This is the map fully assembled map made for a short treasure hunt event. Notice the blackened and torn edges. A texture applied to the whole thing makes it look more crinkled. Users would have to find this map in 24 pieces, and then the location of a treasure (in the form of a virtual pet dragon) would be revealed. I was inspired by old looking maps in games such as Shadow of Colossus.rit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

ToT Infographic
Testing Results
Results from early alpha build!
Here are some interesting stats on ToT! After the alpha was built I ran a test at a local gaming event. I gathered a group of 20 players, showed each one how to play the game and then let them play a 3 minute game. If the player survived for 3 minutes, they won. I recorded various stats, for each player and got some interesting results. These stats resulted in numerous changes in the game. Partilarly in the Evil Laughter mechanic and in the way players play cards during gameplay. You can read an in-depth analysis of this test over at here.
Merry Mobile

Raiding the workshop
In Merry Mobile you could raid the elf workshop for toy parts! Players searched all through this randomly generated map in order to build toys for Santa. Players had to be careful of being caught in the act of plundering!
