Game IP
My earliest game IPs were more like traditional stories, centered around deep and rich storyworlds, largely inspired by the Squaresoft-Epic Fantasy RPGs of the 1990's. It wasn't until college that I came to understand and appricate gameplay and game mechanics as a formof IP in and of itself. What follows is a collection of my game IPs, some of which are based on more traditional world creation and storytelling and others which are focus on gameplay (mechanics and system driven).

Manga IP
Manga is great medium for visualizing and communicating stories, worlds, and characters and so I often use it as a tool for exploring and developing IP. Below is a collection of manga specific IPs that I have designed.
