I am a Chicago-based game developer. I am also a lot of other things, like a consumer tech, pop music/culture, musical theater, drag, doll-collecting, speed skating, parrot... enthusiast. One of those is a lie.

 Feel free to pick my brain about anything game related. If you're having a hard time picking a topic, I particularly enjoy talking about UI/UX, game design theory, tech stacks, project infrastructure, and weird programming languages.

 A few games that will help you get to know me are almost every Valve title (but especially Portal 2), Bioshock, World of Warcraft, Bayonetta, The Outlast Trials, and Animal Crossing. I also love trivia and social puzzle games. I am open to any game development opportunities, paid or unpaid. I excel at programming and design based tasks. I also really enjoy level development. Otherwise, I consider myself a jack of all trades, master of some. Don’t be afraid to reach out with any questions or inquiries. Especially if you're Alan Cumming.

Download and play here! Check out our GitHub repository + Dev Wiki here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617852cc030b1c5150abff7e/5faeb11b-6f93-4205-b8b6-f356201cf79e/MoneyGif2.gif Strange Cargo - Currency System + Shopping In order to add a sense of progression to the game, we implemented a shop and currency system. The better you take care of your pet, the more they will reward you. These rewards come in the form of crystal poop, which is able to be sold for money. This money can allow you as the player to buy upgraded tools and items for your pet to make their time at the adoption center all the better. Happier pets mean happier pockets at Strange Cargo Adoption Center! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617852cc030b1c5150abff7e/2dc49d88-b050-4c8b-87bf-d9ef5675d604/PetGenGif.gif Strange Cargo - Pet Generation One of my favorite features to design was the game’s pet generation. A huge part of what makes this game unique is the idea that its near impossible for any player to have the same creature twice. This opens doors for players being able to trade pets depending on what they find fun. The pets are broken into into parts that, upon initial spawn, are strung together to create a creature. These parts include different coat patterns, coat colors, tails, torsos, head, legs, horns, ears, and tails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617852cc030b1c5150abff7e/17e1438b-44f7-4641-94d1-26d3c784f909/SHOWER.png Strange Cargo - Pet AI + Player Interaction In a simulation game such as Strange Cargo, the level of interaction is the limit of your payers creativity when it comes to caring for their pets. We strived to have a base set of interactions the compliment the average needs of caring for a creature. Whether is bathing, feeding, or playing catch, we knew these interactions are what allows the player to bond with their virtual pet. Along with this comes an AI and needs system, allowing the pet to act on its own wishes based on its current condition. Is your pet starving? I don’t think it will want to play catch with you! https://www.brooklyndipi.com/super-mango-64 daily 0.75 2022-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617852cc030b1c5150abff7e/a1a1777e-edc2-4699-ac41-6abf6e13b157/mangologo1.png Super Mango 64 - Super Mango 64 is a retro-inspired 3D platformer where you jump, collect bananas, and throw barrels!
