Sample game project:

“Champions of the Ring”

Set in the present day in an urban, Brazilian world, with forays high above the earth in an airship, this 2D fighting game puts the player in control of masters of martial arts. There’s Zyair (left), a capoeirista; Rowan (center), an imperfect pyrokineticist; and Leon, a vengeful cop with a sword. Together, they must defeat the megalomaniacal Count Vesuvius, whose moves include the “Vesuvius,” the “Chicxulub,” and other attacks named after extinction events.

We are developing this game in C++ and other tools for the Steam platform. Creator-programmers: Henry Nissen and Francesco Crisafulli. Character artwork shown here: Nathan Basurto-Alaiza and Gabe Mejia.

Videos

I am also a video editor, and work with the Adobe Creative Suite. Below are samples of my work.

Promotional video for a flamenco studio. I matched the mood of the dancers with dramatic music, graphics and editing.

One of many political commentary videos I edited for Front Page Live. I did the editing including graphics. 2,500 views.

I edited audio and assistant-edited video in this virtual concert (during the pandemic). This involved synchronizing over 100 videos and balancing all audio.
