At Gameloft, John was lead systems designer on Spiderman Unlimited
Live Ops
New Game modes
Teams and events
The Hero's Code is a humorous and heartfelt deconstruction of classic top-down adventure-games
Playing as an NPC stuck in a partially-completed game, the player will find themselves
Traversing dungeons in reverse, un-solving puzzles from boss-room to entrance
Using standard items in weird and unexpected ways
'Sequence breaking' and subverting action-adventure RPG tropes
Trying to dislodging other NPCs from their programming with varying degrees of success
As part of Cornell University's game design program, John first discovered his love for game development, while designing and writing the OSTs for may student projects from 2005 to 2007.
These games were made by a team of students who all went on to successful careers in the game industry and movie industry, and they're still available to play for free!
