  • Working in a team of primarily 8, this project was created for our senior capstone at UCSC for the Art and Design: Games and Playable Media B.A. degree over the span of 20 weeks.

The Haunting of Hu Gu Po

Role: Game Designer, Artist, Product Designer

  • With a small team of 4, this project was created for Game Design Experience (ARTG 120), a class contained in the UCSC, Art and Design: Games and Playable Media major over the span of ~5 weeks.

  • I took part in designing the game, including the narrative, the rules, and the mechanics, as well as playtesting the game through multiple iterations. I also worked as the product designer, creating the physical prototype of the game and illustrating the box art as well as the board art.

About the game: A thrilling board game based on the Taiwanese folktale of Hu Gu Po. With four players, play as either one of the three siblings trying to escape the nightmare, or as the Hu Gu Po (the Tiger Aunt) and try to catch the siblings before they can escape.
