The Binding of Isaac: Paper Prototype

Fan-Based Paper Prototype

This paper prototype is based on The Binding of Isaac Rebirth. The purpose of the project was to try and replicate the roguelike feel of the game. Since almost every element in TBOI is randomized, I played as the Dungeon Master while someone else plays and I direct them through the adventure

Battleship: Duress Edition

Fan-Based Modulation Project

This version of Battleship ups the intensity by restricting most ships into separate quadrants on the board and having missiles instantly destroy ships upon impact. The purpose was to take the casual approach of Battleship and make it a nerve wrecking Russian Roulette style experience
