The MTRS project is a simulator game that teaches military personnel how to operate the MTRS robot and diffuse bombs in a variety of training scenarios.
Across five unique scenarios, the user is given a set of objectives that can change across multiple play sessions. Each scenario was created to introduce different features of the MTRS robot and provide an practice environment to test and build skills before taking the actual hardware into the field.
This was developed specifically to run on the same military hardware that is used to operate the robot.
MTRS was developed by IDSI.
Jamestown VR is a virtual reality archaeology game proof of concept developed for the Jamestown Rediscovery Project as an installation.
Players dig into the real dig site at Jamestown to uncover real artifacts that have been scanned into the game using photogrammetry. As players pick up and examine the object the voice of one of the archaeologists comes on to explain the significance of what the player has found and what that can tell us about the dig site.

Garrison Fox is an emergent narrative and resource management game where the player takes on the role of Garrison Commander and manages a military base. Built as a game based learning environment and curriculum supplement, Garrison Fox is designed to build connections between the types of situations that can occur on a military base and which directors and departments the Garrison Commander should reach out to.
The game plays out with new Events appearing in the commanders inbox. Once the player has opened and read the messages, they can reach out to different directors for advice and different courses of action. Through dialogue, the player unlocks different Actions they can take. Once the player has all the information they need, they take as many or as few Actions as they deem necessary.
The resource management portion of Garrison Fox come in with the steadily ticking clock. Each Event only has a limited amount of time in which it can be completed, and in order for certain actions to be taken, the appropriate director needs to be available.
In this way, Garrison Fox teaches the player on how to prioritize different issues, gives them familiarity and experience with the roles of different directors, and tests their ability to respond and make tough calls in difficult situations.
Garrison Fox was developed by IDSI.
Star Royale is a Star Fox inspired battle-royale in space, taking the battle-royale genre into six-degrees of freedom! In this game you can play as one of a cast of anthropomorphic characters. Players can customize one liners to taunt their enemies with when they shoot them down. We designed a map generator and biome system to make it easy to curate a new monthly bonus map alongside the core, battle-royale stage.
Progression is tied to customization. Daily and weekly rotating bounties and kills in the game can earn players currency to purchase a weekly rotating selection of ship frames, emblems, and shaders.
Overall the goal was to design a modular game that’s easy to add content to and can sustain itself as a content generation engine.
Development only lasted a quarter because it was a temporary project between contracts, but I’m still proud of the prototype we made and believe in the design.
