[Redacted] Shipped!

I’m a little late to post this, but I’m really excited to share that at SDS, we launched our latest game [Redacted] (formerly Project Birdseye) back in October! It was a fun project with a fast-paced production cycle—just a little over a year from start to finish. For me, it was incredibly refreshing to work on something quick, simple, and focused on finding the fun. Out of all the projects I’ve worked on over the years, this has been one of the most fun to play—I’ve already sunk over 20 hours into it on the Steam Deck! :D I’ll be sharing some character work from it in the new year. Now go out and play!

Project Birdseye First Look

 

 

 Super excited that Striking Distance teased a fun project that we've been hard at work on!

The Callisto Protocol - Final Transmission DLC Trailer

Excited to share the trailer for the Final Transmission DLC the team has been working hard on! Working on DLC is always a good time and I had a fun time creating a final cinematic asset of Jacob. 

The Callisto Protocol, Shipped!

The Callisto Protocol is out, so get out there and play it!

As I came in later into the production of the project, some unique opportunities were available to help the team close down and ship the game.

I contributed towards polishing off different aspects of the main character Jacob. I created some snowy weather effects. Created and help setup his gore effects. Worked with Tech-art to set his prison costume for physics and holstering his gun. I also debugged quite a few of his Scripted Event deaths. It was a lot of fun working on Jacob. Some uploaded images and videos below. That said, video and compression on blogger is hit and miss. Check out my artstation for more!

In addition, I stood up some Unreal Scripted Event work. Learning Unreal Editor's Sequencer, I focused mostly on characters, fixing and polishing SE’s whenever needed. 

 

Whats video game without dead bodies? I also setup a bit of the dead body content you'll find in the game.  

 

Was a really fun project with a super talented team. As always, working on these characters is a highly collaborative endeavor between multiple departments and some very talented individuals. So, a big shout out to all the character-artists, tech-artists, engineers, artists, vendors and directors who made it possible!

AWD: Augmented Wrestling Division

2D character design for a professional wrestler in a future/cyberpunk world. One where athlete's augment themselves with the latest tech implants before battling it out in the ring! I had a blast working on this in David Paget's course,  "Character Design for Film and Games" this summer! It finally got out of my comfort zone and I went full 2D in Photoshop. Learned alot with this piece. Looking forward to doing more! Hopefully my love of Professional Wrestling ( and influences ) comes though in this one.

 

 

SDS & The Callisto Protocol

Its been awhile since updating the old blogger and the past few years have been wild to say the least! :D  Around September of last year, I found myself very fortunate to have landed over at Striking Distance Studios with a talented team that's working on The Callisto Protocol!

In lieu of there being no E3 this year, the big summer event was "IGN's Summer of Gaming". At the Sony's State of Play, SDS revealed the game-play trailer for The Callisto Protocol! It was such an accomplished for the team as it looks amazing!

Additionally, a few weeks past there was a great write up from the folks over at Game Informer! Give it a read!

Also, huge props to the SDS team for hooking us all up with some awesome dev swag and Game Informers!

woooo making games!

Thanks team!

 

Marvel's Avengers Launch Day!

Marvel's Avengers is out! This is something that I've spent the past 4+ years on! It was quite the project, with so many late nights, snacks from the fridge and practical jokes! Moving forward I'm going to miss my Crystal Dev family as it was such a career highlight working with so many talented & kind individuals. I had so much fun on this project and I hope the players have just as much fun playing!

Reassemble!

Go Character Team!
