Science Game Jam 2013

I spend the last two days working with my friends on a game for the Science Game Jam run by Rob Lockhart and hosted by the Field Museum. It was my first game jam and the first time I've used Flash in six months. I worked on the artwork for the Fish, fish parts, and the minor swimming and water animations.



The theme of the game jam was to create and educational and fun game dealing with a fish's HOX genes, which essentially control how the size and position of body parts to maximize and organism's survivability.
