Together In Love

Game Designer, producer, programmer, artist

A game about love where two hearts beat as one. Work closely together with a partner to build a song. This is a simple two player game where both of you must move together to collect birds in the sky. You cannot collect birds if you are not close to the other player and the song of dischord will play. Each bird represents a different musical instrument and as you collect more of an particular instrument, its music contributes more to the overall song. Once you have collected everything, the game will finish and the finale will play.

Storytime

Writer, Designer, Producer, Artist

Create a story with friends using picture and word cards. Take turns at being the storyteller. Embellish the story and help it end the way you want it to. Gather some friends with a set of Dixit cards and the caption cards.

In each round, one player is the “storyteller”. When it is your turn, choose either a picture card or a word card and the other players choose the opposite type of cards to give to you that they believe match to your card. You choose your favourite and contribute to the story using the newly formed picture-caption cards pair. As the game progresses you as a group develop the story further and let it go where you want it to. The game ends when someone says the magic words “The End”. There is no winner, players simply enjoy creating a story together.

Back to the First Date

Game designer, writer

The game was made for Molyjam 2013 and is based on the Peter Molyneux quote: “I wish I had some time machine and could go back two weeks. You live by your mistakes, for sure.”

Two time travellers, Sofia and Rajar, met at a Doctor Who convention and decided to go on a first date. Sofia subscribes to the vehicle-based mode of time travel (as seen in “Back to the Future”), while Rajar subscribes to the closed-loop model (as seen in “Hot Tub Time Machine”). Their first date didn’t go as planned, since they argued over everything from time travel theory to who pays the bill.

Two weeks later, both of them decide that they can help the date go more smoothly. Help each of them travel back in time to attempt to fix what went wrong so they are not alone in the present. Can you help these two scientists see eye to eye and live happily ever after?

Team Ninja

Sole Developer

A mod of the game Ninja to turn it into a co-op/paired/team game. Players must hold hands with a partner and work as a team to eliminate all the other players. If players release hands, they lose.

Get together 6 or more friends together on a field or large open space. Find a partner. Hold hands with your partner. Each team takes turns to move. If your hands are hit, you are out. Try to get other teams out and be the last person standing.

Team Ninja is a great game to play with a mix of children and adults. Children that are too nervous to play against adults can pair up with an adult. It gives children a great sense that they’re in it together and helps build their own confidence.

The Dragon Whisperers

Game designer, writer, programmer, producer

You and your sibling must save your mother’s life by travelling to the top of a temple guarded by a dragon. The dragon asks questions in pictograms and if you want to be understood you’ll need to reply in pictograms. Luckily you have a dragon dictionary! Unfortunately you only have half of the dictionary. Your sibling has the other half!

You must work sitting next to a friend in the real world to translate what the dragon is saying and determine what you should say in response. If you choose correctly, you will ascend the temple steps and get closer to saving your mother’s life. If you choose incorrectly you will be forced to descend.

The Dragon Whisperers is a two player offline co-op game and requires both of you to have the app installed on your device. One player must select “Player 1” at the beginning, the other must select “Player 2”.
