Beast Breaker
Game Director 2020-2021
Beast Breaker is a turn-based mouse-bouncing adventure and the first release from Vodeo Games.
The vision for Beast Breaker—and all Vodeo titles—is to be inviting and accessible while also providing deep, expressive systems that continue to reward players’ curiosity and strategy across many hours of play.
From a prototype invented by fellow game director and Vodeo founder Asher Vollmer, I helped develop a unique combination of arcade action and turn-based tactics.
Designed and built a dozen beasts, each like a Breakout level that fights back.
Invented a light but thoughtful tactical mini-game for tracking beasts.
Created over a hundred unique player attacks to fit four different weapon styles.
Guided the narrative design and story development with a talented writing team.
Designed RPG systems like crafting, ability upgrading, and quest progression.
FUN FACT: Vodeo Games is a fully remote team, with contributors from across the US and Canada.
