Game Jams

SITCH is a fake Twitch client in which you can watch a handful of streamers as they deal with interpersonal drama, plushie obsession, and the end of the world. It features and interactive and reactive, procedural stream chat and excellent guest performances.

Available for Windows and Mac.

_RUZ is a Ted Cruz-based investigation game in a twist on Her Story. Prior to the 2016 election, unedited interview footage of Ted Cruz was released publicly and I thought it would be fun to use it to make a weird game in which you discovered about the trials and tribulations of a company endeavoring to create the perfect presidential candidate.

Available for Windows and Mac on itch.io.

Backer Reward was the winner of the 2015 Global Game Jam at NYU in Brooklyn - Best Use of Theme and Best Overall Game.

Thanks so much for contributing to our Kickstarter! We're extremely excited to get working on our latest project, and it's important to us that our backers remain involved every step of the way!

SITCH was programmed by me and designed by me, Asif Siddiky, and Michael Tucker. Featured performers are myself, Michael Tucker, Asif Siddiky, Darren Korb, Tim Turi, and others.

_RUZ and Backer Reward were designed by Sigursteinn Gunnarsson, Shepard Ramsay, Geoffrey Suthers, and Jonathan Zungre. Special thanks to Vinny Bee for contributing a music track.

Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
