HIWTHI: Home Is Where The Heart Is was a video game I created with my team for 2019 Global Game Jam.

As the theme was “home”, we bounced off the idiom of “home is where the heart is” and created a game of a tiny parasite named HIWTHI trying to find his way to his home— the human host’s heart. On the way, he must fight off the host’s antibody spaceships and his meatball dinner.

I served as Art Director for the game, as well as working on environment modelling, texturing, and level planning.

Additional work for HIWTHI was done by Nicholas Seccondro, Brandon Kong, Michael DeCaprio, and Joshua Weinberg.
