Sam Sarette | 3D Showcase

Desktop Controls: WASD & Mouse

Sponsored and Participated in game jam at NHTI in 2018.

I created the game using ImpactJS and Ink, designed the mechanics and gameplay.

Partners did writing and artwork, respectively.

Once the game was complete, I used as it as an example of using Ink in many game engines, by reimplementing it several times.

VR experience for KMC Systems trade show booth and office marketing installation. Shown at the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo 2021 (Sept 26-30).

I was the primary developer - 360 photography, environment and interaction design, and more.

We recorded lots of mixed-reality footage for display on a TV near the installation.

In the demo, you can use a floating paintbrush and pallet to change the instrument’s skins, open the drawers and replace the bottles in their slots, open the robotics area and watch the machine park itself into a safe position so you can insert a microtiter plate, and overall, you can play with the consumables on the desk and fridge and walk around the instrument.

Participated in Global Game Jam at NHTI in 2019.

Wired in the procedural generation system that my partner designed, and implemented the Ink-powered trade-partner discussion system.

Also, created several character animations using a Microsoft Kinect.

Ran & Participated in Global Game Jam with the Southern NH Game Developer Meetup in 2023.

Developed the puzzle systems, directed the voice actor and implemented their character and voice line activation.

I also spent the week post-jam adding usability and extra polish, such as enhancing the final plants puzzle look-and-feel.

For much of this project, I was coordinating between the four of us to ensure the team collaborated effectively.

Ran & Participated in Global Game Jam with the Southern NH Game Developer Meetup in 2024.

Kit-bashed free 3D assets, shaders, and the phantom camera addon to create a 32-bit arcade feel, ala Time Crisis or House of the Dead.
