    This is a selection of pieces from games I have been working on. I am currently in the process of finding a team to help complete this project. If anyone is interested in working on a project like this I would be keen to hear from you :)…
    uniE621 ‘Silt’
    Silt is an underwater horror game set in a surrealist undersea environment. I came up with the project, formed a company around it and drew the game. The technical team then turned it into a game which I creatively directed. It can be bought on all store fronts and has sold over 100,000 copies to date. I am very proud of this project as it was my first foray into games. To see more head here: https://www.twine.net/signin…
