Park Builder is an educational park simulator game created for the PBS franchise, Nature Cat. The player helps the outdoors-loving Nature Cat and his friends design a park, learning about different kinds of plants, seasons, and weather along the way.
In addition to programming the game in Javascript and PIXI, I was responsible for designing and implementing the world navigation mechanics, seasons for the environment, and asset management for saving and spawning the player’s custom gardens. I also implemented pathing for the games characters with object avoidance utilizing A* pathing.

Role: Programming, Game Design
I built a series of mini-games created for the relaunch of the Sesame Street website. The idea was to allow the player to go on "playdates" with characters living in the Sesame Street "Street View". Players could draw with Elmo, make soup with Oscar, and many more.
