MY PORTFOLIO
01
Magic Mayhem
Student Project
In this project, Gunnar used assets from Stack-o-bot to create three spell mechanics for a fireball spell, a light spell, and a healing spell. Three map sections were created featuring a beginning exposition area with dialogue and NPCs, a platforming section in the dark using the light spell for guidance, and a boss fight influenced by the Icon of Sin from Doom '93.
02
Tiles / Sokoban
Student Project
This project focused on creating mechanics for a Sokoban style game, showcasing three levels with an adopted mechanic for tiles dropping under players and an original mechanic featuring a jetpack to carry players over empty tiles.
03
Scraps Project
Student Project
In the Scraps Project, the goal was to create a unique mechanic using the IPM format. Players can pick up triggerable gears to place in slots on the walls that open doors in a post-apocalyptic fabricator warehouse setting.
