Project Management & Funding
Working With Decentralized Teams
Acquiring Funding
I’ve been successful in securing funding from multiple sources for my commercial projects. Starting with a successful Kickstarter, and an early access VR game developed on Vive kits (courtesy of Valve), and most recently I wrote, submitted, and secured a grant from Epic Game’s for my game, Ira Act 1: Pilgrimage. Since then I’ve picked up a sponsorship from AMD who has been gracious enough to provide me with high end PC development hardware.
Game Development
Game Design
Ira Act 1: Pilgrimage is by far my favorite, and well known game project. I created the entire experience from the ground up. It was no easy task, but it was a labor of love. I created a story engine within Unreal to facilitate all my game play actions within a framework that made scripting scenes a snap. Feel free to check out the Ira Act 1 Pilgrimage case study for more info, and in depth breakdowns of what has been created, and how that could be leveraged in your current projects.
