At the 2023 Global Game Jam, responding to the theme "Roots," I was part of a creative team that brought to life a charming two-player game. Our concept revolved around two neighbors competing to create the most impressive garden, blending elements of cooperation and competition in equal measure. Players engage in nurturing their garden while also navigating the tricky business of disrupting their neighbor's efforts, all in the spirit of friendly rivalry for the title of "Garden of the Year."

In this collaborative project, my role was focused on the narrative aspects, crafting the stories that brought depth and humor to our gardening escapades, alongside contributing to the coding to make sure these stories felt integral to the game-play. It was an enlightening experience, allowing me to delve into the nuances of storytelling within a game setting and contribute to a project that was as much about connecting with others as it was about competition.
