Pixel Pop 2017

I either collaborated or led in the design of all gameplay features seen in the demo, including the battle system, enemy AI, and core gameplay loop. I wrote all of the code for the demo.

An early version of our demo was accepted to be shown at PixelPop Festival 2017 in St. Louis, Missouri. I purchased and prepared all of the equipment (computers, monitors, etc.) to show our demo at the event.

As we showed our game at PixelPop, I interacted with players and other developers, gathering and analyzing feedback to help improve our game.
