A Boy and His Beard

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to help create an indie video game? "A Boy and His Beard" was published on Steam, and is a fast-paced action game where the player defeats waves of enemies by swinging a newly-grown beard. As he defeats more (bearded) enemies, their beards are added to his own.

3D Game Assets

During development, I ran UI/UX testing.

While users played the beta, I observed and collected feedback. For A/B testing, we used alternate game modes and different controls. Their UX impressions were collated and used for control optimizations and an improved instruction screen.

In addition to the 3D assets and overall concept development, I provided graphic design work, creating the game cover, posters, social media assets, and video trailers.
