Contaminant Planet
02:39

For this project I was in charge of UI/UX as well as UI assets i.e., buttons, cues, and intro scene and credits. The game is a 2D, third-person point and click adventure in about epidemiology. 

​
 

Learning goals: The importance of PPE, learn about modes of transmission: airborne, waterborne, foodborne, as well as vectors, fomites, and the concept of zoonosis. Motivations: Figure out your purpose, Solve the epidemic! Save Planetville!

My role in this game was programmer. Built in Unity, I coded five game levels in C#. The purpose is to teach students the structures of different amino acids in an enjoyable way. Repetitive levels will reinforce the composition of the R groups and the structured order. 
 

Learning goals: Standard names and conventional abbreviations, Chemical structure of the amino acid backbone and R groups, Common associated atoms, Structures of the amino acids at different pH levels, functional traits, i.e. aromatic, charged, etc.

Life & Depth:
 

My role for this game was artistic direction. Designed and illustrated all vector-based environments and subjects for three levels as well as sound design. In this phone-optimized puzzle game, players build an under-water ecosystem using various organisms that interact. Players must keep different populations balanced in order to avoid upsetting the entire system. Audience: Middle to high school students. Learning goals: The food web, The importance of environmental conditions, such as chemical levels in the water for the survival of a species, The impact of natural and man-made disasters
