Based on the hit webcomic Homestuck, Hiveswap is a hand-drawn tribute to hilarious '90s adventure games (with none of the accompanying frustration). Play as Joey Claire, a puzzle-solving teen snatched out of her time (1994) and place (Earth) and stranded on a hostile alien planet on the brink of rebellion.

Process Notes

Hiveswap 3D prototype

Before it was a 2D adventure, Hiveswap was conceived as a fully 3D game built in Unity. I developed the game outline and mechanics in preproduction, and I served as creative director and co-studio head during the 3D phase of the project.

Here are some screenshots and the teaser trailer video from this early iteration of the game.
