This was a design exercise I made to try creating an event/mini dungeon that might have fit in Diablo 4. I've loved the Diablo franchise ever since I was 8, getting traumatized by the Butcher in Diablo 1. It also ended up being a level design exercise, in which I created a mockup level in Unity using whatever assets I could find or make myself. Overall, this has been one of my favorite paper design exercises. The event is dark and brutal, the boss had a compelling villainous personality, and the mockup made me want to go even further with the exercise.

Created in Unity, beginning as a test of basic Diablo-like ARPG. Thanks to this project, I touched every discipline in creating a game, even if it was briefly. Fight through endless waves of demons, 4 types of enemies with distinct and complex behavior. Build out stats to support your playstyle and survive as long as you can.

A module of high seas adventure, dark and strange island exploration, Fiendish plots, and the promise of treasure beyond your wildest dreams. Started when a latent magical wooden eye is put into a skeleton's eye socket, reforming into the incorrigible skeleton pirate Fitter Bones hellbent on finding a legendary treasure before he returns to the great beyond. Explore 5 distinct islands full of threats, quests, and intrigue. Sail the open seas full of fantastic creatures, wicked monsters, pirates, and navy. Over a hundred new items, and even more threatening monsters come with it.

A full module delivering a classic deadly dungeon crawl for players between level 7-9. Beware the doors to nowhere, the stairs that lead to nothing, the trap door where it can't be. The world that seems solid is far more permeable than we can see, and on rare occasions you can find yourself in a place that doesn't connect. For those foolish or brave enough to delve deeper, you will find yourself in a space made up of lost rooms, utterly disconnected from reality.

Delve through 3 floors, 45 rooms, 45 new items, and a full roster of unique and horrifying monsters. Defeat surreal traps, march beyond the edge of reality, and face down a notorious foe to escape with your lives and your spoils.
