As part of my discovery as a game designer, I have participated thrice in game jams. These were done during covid when I was still at school and still didn’t know what I wanted to do in life. It’s these same game jams that I participated with friends that made me want to work in games.

GMTK Game Jam 2021

Jack or Wolf ? The first video game I took part in the creation of. Jack or Wolf is a game where you play a lumberjack who’s aim is to save his village. Every 30 seconds the lumberjack turns into a werewolf. You thus have a limited amount of time to lead the scrambling villagers to their homes before you turn into a monster that attempts to kill the villager. After a short time, you become a lumberjack once more able to turn to your mission. You get points based on how many villagers you have saved.

Your name is Jack and your village is being attacked by 4 werewolves (including yourself). Your aim is to bring back all the villagers to safety in their homes. You can use your environment to temporarily block the wolves. But beware because every thirty seconds, your thirst for villager blood awakes, and you lose all control.

The theme for the GMTK Game Jam 2021 was “out of control”. Through our game I believe we fir the the theme quite well with the transformation mechanic making the player feel at a loss of control every time you transform.

GMTK Game Jam 2023

YOU BE GOD ! You’re the world controller of a turn based RPG. Your aim is to defeat all enemies and leave the game. As the god of the world you can pick and choose the biomes you play in a fight, influence mob drops. The player progresses according to your desires.

My part in the creation of you be god was the asset creation, the pixel art and maps creation. From the tile sets, to the player character and NPCs. As it often happens in game jams, the game is unfortunately unfinished and left in a buggy state where the game crashes if the player enters combat.
