Cleaning House is a rogue-like shooter I worked on with a team of young developers at my university. I worked on multiple areas throughout the game, including establishing its tone and style. While it’s very different than the usual tone and style I work on, I am proud of the work I was able to do on it. This game is available for free on Steam.
I developed the enemy concept art, rigged the main character, and created most of the animations for the game.

This was a games project I completed during my time in college with a group of about 5 other people. It was challenging making a game in only a few months, but I enjoyed it. I worked on the concept art, in-game illustrations, story, enemy model, enemy rig, and shaders.
