Gamejams

Digital  ‣  Gamejams

I occasionally participate in game jams to keep my skills sharp, to meet new people and get spontaneously creative.

This Is Us

A collaboration between Adam, Moth and myself. Our gamejam brainstorming session turned into a 2 hour conversation about sincerity, creative practice and the pursuit of mastery. This "game" is that conversation and can either be experienced in 3D on GGJ website or as a video capture on youtube

Constellations

A first person puzzle mechanic prototype. In this prototype, you rotate planet orbits to match up constellations based on pictographic hints. Orbits are procedurally generated, so while constellations themselves are pre-determined, the solar system is always random.

Screen capture of the game mechanic, moving planets around by dragging their orbits. Screen capture of random planet arrangements generating in-editor.

Mindscapes Of Liz Ryerson

A Mashup of works by Liz Ryerso and Ian MacLarty.

A mashup interactive experience that combines Ian MacLarty's experimental game Southbank Portrait and Liz Ryerson's BAGAIJ10S works and her album SCRAPS.

This experiment uses Ian’s engine and framework to expose a different way of traversing Ryerson's works.
