Chronowave:Global Appliance

What began as a quick game jam entry with my friends, Chronowave:Global Appliance ended up becoming the basis for my senior capstone project in game design. In the game you play as a time travelling freedom fighter who seeks to defeat the sinsiter WORLD OVEN, global warming incarnite. You also have a microwave for a head. Stylistically, the game switches between platforming combat sections, and topdown exploration/puzzle sections.


I served as the art and story lead while my partner focused on the gameplay mechanics and level design, although there was collaboration on all aspects of the project througout. While we weren't able to finish the game as much as we wanted to for our senior project, we do want to return to it someday to make it a full game. Below are a few screenshots from the game, as well as a link to the game's Itch.io page. Please be aware this was a minimum viable product for the class and there may be bugs still present.

Walking in the Woods

Here's a short branching narrative story I made for a class project based on the song "Shia Labeouf" by Rob Cantor. When I made this story I had one track follow the events of the song, but I also included various different endings and multiple routes that could be taken to reach all of the endings. A brief trigger warning, as the song this story is based on includes lots of violence, so does this game.
