15112 (S13) Term Project: Herd Run

This is my term project for 15112 @ CMU. I used python 2.7.2 and pygame 1.9.2 to create Herd Run, a fun action game with strategic elements mixed in! The goal is to reach the next point goal in order to move on to the next level. Points are earned by dropping cows into a pen area.


UI, images, and sound effects by me! This project took ~50-60 hours.

Retrograde - Enemy concepts

At CMU, I'm part of the GCS (game creation society) and currently working on a project called 'Retrograde,' a planned PC platformer themed around going backwards. This guy is a one of many monsters blocking the player from reaching his/her goal! Animated in flash.

Check out these concepts that led to the creation of the lava slug though!

Kaylune - Logo Design Final

And so, Kaylune's logo is finally complete! Working with vectors was tough at first, but as I got closer to finishing, everything felt more natural. After meeting with the owners after presenting the second image, they gave me some pointers (wanted world in background, thought letters looked messy) and I worked with them.
The final product is the last image. Purposely small, to protect the image from being misused on sites without permission.

EcoCarnival - the end...for now!

Just making a short post about the resolution of the "EcoCarnival" proposal!
Our team was given around 3 weeks to draft the proposal, create the website, and design the poster (on top of everything else). It was challenging at points, the most challenging aspect being organizing work and assigning tasks. But in the end, we came up with a high-quality and creative proposal...that ended up winning the most innovative award out of the class (yay, free hats for the team!).

I wish I could show you the poster, but we turned it in. :(

But here's the great website, courtesy of Ian: http://iango3.wix.com/theecocarnival

IS Project - mock games #2 & 3 + Start

The rest of mock app games created for IS project!

IS Project - mock game #1

For an IS project, a team of us have to come up with a proposal raising sustainability/environmental awareness using some sort of information system. Ours targets youth (age 3-8) and teaches them good green habits early on! Here's a mock of one such game about..turning off lights.

I think it'd be fun!

Kaylune - Logo Design Roughs

Rough concepts made in Photoshop while drawing up rough logos for Kaylune.com! Worked closely with owners of site...took awhile till everyone agreed on one. Phew. Next, making the final one in Illustrator.
