The game relied on tactical use of the hero skills, item use, special/status attacks, and combo meters, with the intent of trying to push forward to the enemy base before they could push forward to yours. https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/panic monthly 0.5 2020-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1596154430228-D01U92IBOG6EKH1CPBW7/Click.jpg Portfolio - PANIC at Multiverse High! Getting to know someone better meant calling them on the phone on days when you weren’t at school. Click was from a universe where crows became the dominant lifeform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1596146227514-Q6S2R8LIAT042KXMUM23/magigator_neutral_nt.png Portfolio - PANIC at Multiverse High!

The cues were set up so the player’s “code phrase” doesn’t work and the player has to decide whether they have been made as a threat or not. https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/deadstate monthly 0.5 2021-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618940266183-359K8M772KO39CI37U8L/PressKit_ss006.png Portfolio - Dead State The World Map.

Depending on your previous decisions, dialogue skills, and relationship with these leaders, these events could boost the group’s morale or kill faith in your leadership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618930818706-9ROT2GT5OEI0ZU9XZE7S/deadstate-website-headerlogo_new.jpg Portfolio - Dead State https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618940788318-W1LLFIBXCHSSZ8AML7FU/ss_857251e1b467d73e28783c256765f127d5f264cc.1920x1080.jpg Portfolio - Dead State https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618940801042-9C5M0BKFI4A9OHXLVEKZ/0038790.jpg Portfolio - Dead State https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618940811105-C1J8RXLP5QIFYNW1HSOM/ss_4d8e247dd7fdf8c5949889bc96f1bc0cfd975add.1920x1080.jpg Portfolio - Dead State https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1618941409643-MNQ7R6WH7ZCMAHRJTRLG/rpg_radio2.jpg Portfolio - Dead State https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/vtmb2 monthly 0.5 2024-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1619035352886-RO2JKPKNF0OG2R0IZMK9/Bloodlines+2+logo.jpg https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/the-dragon-prince-xadia monthly 0.5 2024-02-11 https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/project-two-ky966-z8ewh monthly 0.5 2024-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/b0da3a52-6c80-41f7-a5ee-e40ed5ac3cf7/hq720.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/5a332e7c-1680-4a57-ae52-f9896979cc1e/Dragon.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/a5a9a0ab-28d7-468d-9261-fb6529a644b5/ss_6286ea3e0cb9d8b90db68b1c50541dff4eb83194.1920x1080.jpg https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/the-fermi-paradox monthly 0.5 2024-02-11 https://bmitsoda.com/portfolio/vtmb monthly 0.5 2020-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1619019142917-HG7ZGMIDNI56S7PTOVNA/Jeanette.jpg Portfolio - Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Jeanette Voerman - the cover girl of Bloodlines. A combination of seduction, mischief, tragedy, and madness. And the most cosplayed character I’ve ever written. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20d6c1d9b91463f433ab6b/1619019469326-OJ43HTF8QTUFE2TUCP4M/ocean+house.jpg Portfolio - Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines The Ocean House Hotel level. I approached its design like a fun house mixed with a high-tech amusement park ride with a mix of quiet/loud/quiet design pacing, sound triggers, and ghost prop events.
