ROLE
A proof-of-concept prototye for Snow Day was created as part of my TC445 Digital Game Design course at Michigan State University. After the course, the prototype was expanded, polished, and balanced, resulting in this version of Snow Day. I served as the game producer and collaborated with the team on game design, including Jen DeFore, Yun Liu, and Jay Shurtliff. I also collaborated with Yun Liu on programming.
