Originally designed in 2010 using Game Maker, my first ever project Boingo returns in 2024! Boingo is a friendly fellow who must embark on a grand quest to save his family - and perhaps the world whilst he's at it.

In this game, you must help Boingo bounce, wall-jump, and air-dash through a wealth of exciting 2D platforming challenges. Collect as much Star Power on your way as you can in order to explore more of the world! It's a complete reimagining of the designs from the original game 13 years ago, refined with my more recent game design experience.

During my studies, I had the opportunity to produce A Mile In Their Shoes, a collaboration between the university and Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). It's a short educational game about siblings and young people with life-limiting conditions.

The game was developed by myself and my team, Little Pioneers, between January and May 2021, as part of my Professional Project module in 3rd year. The project went on to be funded by the university, which provided us with studentships to continue work on the prototype and develop it to the point it could be shipped and used in schools in 2022.

For my Honours project in my final year at Abertay, I submitted a fully-playable prototype for a 2.5D platformer, Rune. The objective was to research foreshadowing and other facets of environment design, whilst also laying the foundation for a game I'd always wanted to make.

Drawing inspiration from games such as Klonoa 2, I designed a robust level featuring tight and intuitive platforming mechanics, engaging Level Design techniques, and an evocative plot hinted at within the environment. I consider it demonstrative of my strongest design skills and abilities that I learned at Abertay.
