Position: AI Programmer, Sound Programmer

The Exaggerated Epoch of Edward O'Hare is an action-adventure story game set in an imaginary toy world! Players will traverse the toy-filled landscape and story while combating enemies along the way. TEEEO takes players on an odyssey that will usher nostalgia and excitement for all!

I joined the team working on Edward O'Hare halfway through the development cycle and was quickly put to work updating and expanding enemy AI. I also served as a liaison with the team's external sound designer, building on top of my previous work on Forkdrift.
