Here are two more design documents I cooked up in the middle and end of January 2011 respectively: “Junkyard Dogs” and “Mario Kart – Wudang Mountains.” Both were designs made to fulfill requirements by 3rd parties. “Junkyard Dogs” is a 2-4 player design set in a junkyard where players have to construct and control a rail gun and harm their opposing team members with it. Think of it as “UT2K4 mixed with Minecraft.” Man, I loved me some UT2K4….

“Mart Kart – Wudang Mountains” is just as it sounds: a Mario Kart racetrack set in the Wudang Mountains of China. It was my first time designing a racetrack. I think my only complaints with this design are:

• I didn’t pick a Nintendo character to theme this track with. (e.g., DK Summit as in Mario Kart Wii) I do have some ideas listed down at the bottom at the document, but I didn’t pick one and left it open to discussion.
• The track design is too simple. I thought the track design would be tough enough due to the obstacles I put in the way.

Back in December of 2010 I was asked to work on “Lunch King,” a collaboration between Mr. John Harding and myself which focused on teaching chess to kids. Due to other obligations, the project could not continue. Before sunsetting the project, John allowed me to release the assets I had made to the public. John and I used Google Docs to work on the design document so you’ll notice some odd formatting. I am most likely going to upload the rest of the assets later, but I’ll upload the design document for now.
