A series of 5 games created in a total of 16-weeks for the CMU ETC Building Virtual Worlds course (Fall 2011).
Each project was created together with a rotating 4-person team of Programmer, 3D Artist, Texture Artist, and Sound Designer. I served primarily as the 3D modeler / animator on all 5 of my games. All low-poly models and animations were done in 3Ds Max with additional level layout and effects done in Unity 3D.
