Mermaids is a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) where players are mermaids. Bucking genre trends, Mermaids doesn't have combat; instead, players are encouraged to explore the environment and maintain a healthy ecosystem by cooperating with each other. Mermaids was developed as a research project in the Emergent Game Group over the course of many years.

Contribution

I served as Lead Designer for Mermaids for three semesters, managing a team ranging from 10-15 people of various experience levels while contributing features myself. I initially joined the project as a composer, but later expanded my role to include programming and design.
