"Motherly love and killing animals; Being a single mom is tough, and sometimes you gotta get your talons dirty." ~ ComputerLunch
Mama Hawk is a side-scrolling adventure game about a hawk mother who has to feed her ever-growing brood of chicks. Using touch controls, players swipe their finger to control Mama, fly into animals to pick them up, and tap to drop newfound prey upon baby chicks. The varying worlds, animals, and objectives present puzzle-like challenges to the player. Players can upgrade Mama in the in-game store, helping them overcome these challenges.
Originally hired to assist with designing levels, ComputerLunch quickly converted me to a contract Game Designer and Developer, which gave me an opportunity to apply my scholastic knowledge out in the field. After programming AI behaviors for various animals, I switched gears to level and world design, which allowed me to express all of my programming, game design, and art knowledge over the years on a professional level. Wearing many hats was enjoyable and the support of my team helped me grow as a developer.
All of my worlds were placed into the final build of the game, including the animals I have made.
