About
Michael O'Brien, At Your Service
I have been creating games my whole life. I recently obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Technologies with an emphasis on Game Design, and I was the Vision Holder for my Capstone Project. You can find my game Shadow Assassin here.
Shadow Assassin
For the final four months of the Interactive Technologies program, I managed the creation of an entirely new product. As the Vision Holder, I functioned as the game's producer. I was responsible for hosting regular stand-up meetings, coordinating unique art assets from our art team, and implementing custom music from our composer JKVB.
Dynamic Shadow System
Fast-paced Combat
Creative Level Design
Unreal Bards was the title given to all the people who worked on Shadow Assassin during Capstone. This four-month endeavor saw the project move from the conception phase all the way to its final iteration. The game uses unique art assets and custom music combined with a creative Shadow mechanic to bring the developer's vision to life.
Tabletop RPG
I created a tabletop role-playing game based on Avatar: The Last Airbender & Legend of Korra cartoon series. This game seeks to blend elements of friendship, emotional growth, and teamwork into a beginner-friendly game that always keeps players in the driver seat. The full rulebook can be found HERE.
