Hi, I’m Nicole! Started as an Animator who wanted to be able to animate with anything, picked up rigging, then followed the passion and became a Indie Game Dev! Just never stop learning and picking up skills along the way so I can make my animations and games of my own. Be it solo or with friends!!
Games
Spoopernatural Bros
a spooky little platformer where you play as ghosthunters Shane or Ryan. Inspired by Watcher series, Ghost Files, I made this game while completing the Indie Game Academy Level 2 Bootcamp.

Bright Thoughts
Bright Thoughts was created during the IGA Jelly Game jam with four others! This concept was created in 48 hours, based off the theme Sun Up to Sun Down with a secondary theme of Hint of Magic. This is an interactive narrative that that follows a student who is having a bit of a hectic day. I was in charge of making UI, Art Assets in the Supermarket Point and Click Level and some scripting to make a working UX component.

Fig and Broccoli: Raccoon Quest
Fig + Broccoli was created as a group effort for IGA: Level 3 Publish. In this 3D puzzle adventure, a country raccoon named Fig must explore the city and befriend a quirky cast of characters while searching for his partner in chaos, Broccoli. I was in charge of all Art: Character and Env Design, Modeling, Texturing, Rigging and Animating in one and a half month time box as part of the 3 month program. Made in Unity Engine, most of the assets I made in Blender.
