FILMS
GENSHIN IMPACT AS A RETRO RPG (2023)
An officially sponsored reimagining of the hit game Genshin Impact as a retro RPG. Will be featured in HoYoFair Spring 2023.
CHANGYOU'S JOURNEY (2018)
Award-winning, Oscar qualified animated short film about the journey of a young boy's father from China to the United States. Tribute to the director's late father. I did visual development and background art for this film. I wanted to make sure the emotions of the son and his father were communicated clearly through the color, lighting, and style choices. Since the film is about a tribute told through the eyes of a child, I wanted it to have a hand-drawn look and incorporate classic Chinese brush painting techniques into the backgrounds.
GAME JAMS
PINBALL GARDENER (2018)
Quirky game which combines pinball with a farming simulator. Made for Ludum Dare 41 with the theme: combine 2 incompatible genres! Made in Game Maker Studio over the course of a day. Collaboration with Matt Fisher, who split the workload for the coding with me. Won Best Use of Theme award at the UCLA ACM Studio Jam. Available on itch.io!
RAPTOROUS (2018)
1 player sidescroller where you play as a microraptor trying to reach the goal. Made in C++ 11 and Qt library. All code, art assets, and music made by me over the course of a month. This one was tricky since there was no documentation for games with the Qt graphics library so I had to figure out how to implement everything myself from scratch. Inspired by my favorite arcade game, Joust (1982).
LORD OF THE HOARD (2018)
2 player versus treasure collection game played on a single keyboard. Made in Python 3.0 and the Pygame library. All code, art assets, and music made by me over a single weekend. Inspired by multiplayer Flash games with shared-keyboard controls I used to play with my younger brother.
