I attended Global Game Jam 2015 at the UT Austin. Austin has a thriving game development community, and I estimate at least 60-70 people turned up for the weekend.

Players move once per beat toward the end of the level while dodging obstacles.  After getting settled into Austin, I chose to pivot the game in a direction that would allow players to visualize and interact with the music on a deeper level.

Offroad Bitcoin was my submission for One Game A Month: Febuary. The player controls an offroad vehicle and attempts to get it to the end of a race track that is procedurally generated from historical bitcoin price data. The focus on the game is a lighthearted exploration of the dataset.

Random Greed was made as part of One Game A Month: November. It’s an abstract strategy game about accumulating resources as fast as possible. Levels are randomly generated, and the player can manipulate the flow of time.
