Whale Defense Force! is a metroidvania game developed during Global Game Jam 2017. In it, the player takes the role of the Whale Defense Force, consisting of Flow, Floyd, and Flex, as they use their radical super powers to invade Whale's World and free the whales held there in captivity.

​

During this project, I acted as the project lead, helming the project from its initial creation to its final stages of development at the end of the weekend. Because of this, I helped guide the various members of my team with their tasks in order to create a cohesive experience. I also worked primarily as the character concept artist for this project. In total I ended up conceptualizing four characters in total over the course of the weekend.

​

What I learned from this project: In this project, I learned how project leads contribute to virtually every aspect of game development. They also must keep communication open between each department of game development.
