This was a collaborative effort between Cary Kawamoto, Andrew VanKooten, Holden Woelfl and myself – with additional help from Amani Dye (story), Danny Morris (music), and Lori Collins (concept art). This was a sizable project in which I was able to fulfill a large number of duties:

• Producing
• Technical writing
• Storyboarding
• Integrating together code from other teammates
• Level design/building in UNITY
• Scripting game assets and behavior
• Prototyping cat models and movements
• Playtesting
• Creating trailer from storyboards and gameplay footage
