Welcome to
Slightly Epic Games
This is a place for me to share my homebrew video game projects
Space Game
My first Scratch.MIT.edu project
How many points can you get? Conserve fuel while navigating an asteroid field and fight off waves of bad guys.
TIP for style points: line up your trajectory towards the fuel ball, and then start spinning your ship in one direction to be awarded a bonus for Each 360* spin completed leading up to picking up the fuel ball.
River Tells You Happy Birthday
The power of scratch shines with it's ability to see under the hood of any project and remix it as your own
Use this to send someone a customizable interactive birthday card with mini-games and a high score they can save and try to beat each year :)
General version here, which I made first. Then I re-skinned it and added audio effects from my daughter to make a personalized version. It also says diff things based on what you're doing (or not doing) and who you say your name is (i.e. some special greetings for the grandmas and grandpas out there)
Function Runner
Educational game for visualizing linear and parabolic functions
The ground is lava, and 'function' is the safe path to travel on. Move by telling your character the correct values for which ever equation is represented by the safe path.
Up High (a.k.a Steven's Game)
Getting to this spot is beating the game - It's a nice view when you step out
This was another 1-day project. This time kick-started by some music and a 3D model of a level, from a great friend, Steven Hastings, who said "Hey, do something with this!"
The result was a simple game where you interact with orbs as switches to toggle doors like this on and off. I used primitives and particle effects for the doors and switches, and a skybox for the space scene.
Dungeon Adventures!
Game Design Class: Group Project, Oct 2013
I put a lot of love and time into this game, I wish I could find a build or the project source files for this one.
We had:
- a few levels working (interior and exterior caves)
- character controller and jump mechanics tuned
- some monsters
- the ability to collect and consume mushrooms for a psychedelic effect
- a really cool main menu that had the camera flying around a mountain/forest area with waterfalls
We got stuck on:
- Version control (lack of)
I created the concept art below for this game. My team and I created the pdf below that.
