Trendsetters (2023)
Download the rules here!

The year is 20XX. Yesterday’s darling is today’s laughingstock at the click of a button, but the star of tomorrow is the current fool. A single click of a button, that familiar little chime, and the winners and losers are decided as the world decides who rode that knife’s edge of controversy better. Wait, what do you mean we’re already living that?

Trendsetters is a short, snappy party game inspired by the likes of Cards Against Humanity, parodying the 21st century social media scene. Get the most outrageous hot takes out there to earn points, and if you’re lucky enough, pick up sponsors that will help you go even further beyond! Just don’t go too far and fall into THAT pitfall.

To play, just print out and paste the Card Designs onto blank playing cards and go!

Developed in conjunction with fellow students, Kevin Liang, Vincent Vazquez, and Lucas Holt.

The final hour of this world draws nigh. As the last moons crest the horizon, the time has come. Awaken, o hallowed one. Sing your song. Sing this doomed universe’s requiem. 

Exodia is 6 player game of social deduction and card trading. Two cults stalk through the night, each racing to seal the rival dark god so that their own might dictate the rise and fall of this world unchallenged. The twist? Neither cult knows who their allies are, only what actions are made manifest in the opposing dimension. Trick friends and foes alike as you race towards ultimate victory in…Exodia.

Developed in conjunction with fellow students, William Zhao, Hyeokmin Kwon, and Lucas Holt.

W-W-WELCOME TO THE TIDE POOL! Tonight, we’ll see which of our contestants brought the King Crabs and which ones brought dinner. In the red corner, we have the ol’ Armor Abs and the Nutcracker! In the (slightly) less red corner…

These clashes of claw and shell is the rough and tumble that makes up the fun of CRAB FIGHT. Take control of these sturdy beasts of war and fight for dominance over an ever shrinking board, and be the last one standing to prove that you’re the greatest of them all.

Paparazzi Panic (2022)

Everyone lives their own life. That’s absolutely true, no doubt. But let’s be honest here: not all lives are worth the same, at least in regards to public interest. ‘Course, nothing worth that kinda dime is ever easy. That’s where you come in. Show us what lives are lived behind close doors. I’m counting on you, Papparazo…

Developed for the USC 2022 Newbies and Vets Game Jam. Working with the theme of privacy, Paparazzi Panic was a short exploration game, where players stepped into the shoes of the intrepid Paparazzo (the Paparazzi) to get a scoop on the elusive Chris Hemsworth Praine.

Unfortunately, the game faced critical errors just before submission, so it is currently unplayable.
