Here are some examples I’m particularly proud of :) The Daguerreotype ProcessThe Daguerreotype Process is a game made by myself and four other students hosted by USC and the Getty Center, a museum in Los Angeles. The theme of the jam was to make a playful experience that would help museum-goers look at the art in a different way. Daguerreotypes were the first step toward photography as we know it today, and were made by making a silver plate light-sensitive and then exposing and developing it. My group chose to make a game that would teach people about that process in a playful, engaging way. Over the course of the game, the player creates and develops a "daguerreotype selfie." The game won first place at the Getty/USC game jam where it was created. <img width="640" height="360" width_o="640" height_o="360" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37385e8e5e5f0210743634a6d494be0e6222697261ddc415f9530ae9ba630574/getty01.gif" data-mid="32847932" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/37385e8e5e5f0210743634a6d494be0e6222697261ddc415f9530ae9ba630574/getty01.gif" /><img width="640" height="360" width_o="640" height_o="360" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5a58247f18f301e95dbdb09376420353e35a4dffeafeaebf5e6acf40ffeb480/getty02.gif" data-mid="32847931" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/b5a58247f18f301e95dbdb09376420353e35a4dffeafeaebf5e6acf40ffeb480/getty02.gif" /><img width="640" height="360" width_o="640" height_o="360" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d9ca9263b2ed8c405002d5906958e8f2b342c76ab05893f9a622a0a849cdd91/getty03.gif" data-mid="32847930" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/0d9ca9263b2ed8c405002d5906958e8f2b342c76ab05893f9a622a0a849cdd91/getty03.gif" /><img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7ef248745bef22556cb449b3b3e90136c201c1e7614fe25e939b683a719452b/Screenshot-2016-03-04-03.02.37.png" data-mid="32847929" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7ef248745bef22556cb449b3b3e90136c201c1e7614fe25e939b683a719452b/Screenshot-2016-03-04-03.02.37.png" /> Your Network Is Your Net Worth Your Network Is Your Net Worth is a word association puzzle game about using business phrases and Silicone Valley-type buzzwords to successfully "network" and gain professional contacts' business cards.
