Hi! I’m Joey!
I’m a 4th year Game Design & Development student at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Astral Drift
Astral Drift is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an immersive outer space setting. You will find yourself battling terrifying aliens with your friends as you travel this new world in your spaceship. Adventure beyond the stars is calling -- and it’s up to you to answer it.
I collaborated with a team of 5 of my peers to create this Tabletop Role-Playing Game within one semester for a class: “Tabletop RPG Design”. For this project, I helped design the main theme and story of the setting, including the various species, how they all relate with one another, and their home planets. I also worked magic into the world as a harnessed power known as Radiance. If you’re interested, the full PDF can be found on DriveThruRPG at the link below.
A.R.C.A.N.A.
A.R.C.A.N.A. is a two player escape room style puzzle game where players take on the roles of interns of a powerful archmage. One day, when the archmage becomes trapped by a demon for failing to meet the demon's requirements for a deal, it is up to the players to free him before time runs out. Through limited knowledge but strong communication, the players must learn how to craft a magical potion and navigate through the archmage's winding lab in order to succeed in saving their boss from an unfortunate end.
I was the Lead Designer for A.R.C.A.N.A., out of a team of 5, primarily working on the logic behind the puzzles in the game. I also had the opportunity to do create some of the assets used throughout the game including the voice lines for the demon taunting the players.
