In this “anti-VR” game designed for the 2018 VR Austin Game Jam, the player is tasked with the goal of shooting one of their eyes through hoops laid out across a pirate ship’s deck.
Created by a small team over 48 hours, this was an experiment into breaking the golden rule of virtual reality: never, ever, under any circumstances, unlink the player's eyes.
I designed much of the environment, including the skybox, the water, the sun, and the barrels.
I also experimented with diegetic UI. Since a standard number display that instantaneously changes its value wouldn't make sense on a pirate ship, I challenged myself to come up with a type of physical number display that would be appropriate. I designed, modeled, and textured the score machine, which can display four digits on rotating cylinders.

Designed by a small team over 48 hours, this game puts the player in a neon world straight out of the 80s. Tasked with fighting TV robot baddies, the player needs to use gnarly guitar riffs by matching chords on the robots’ heads.
I designed much of the environment, including the skybox, the animated sun, and the sharp, polygonal mountains in the background. I also designed the shiny chrome logo, cover art, and textures for the robot TV screens.
