Keep It Together was a project made by Max Cronce, Jake O’Neill and Ethan Chong.
We were tasked with creating a game that was either inspiring or one that was depressing and exhausting. Being university students, we obviously chose the latter.

Portfolio
Here’s some examples of my work. Some of it was done for class projects, some was done on my own, and some are a combination of the two.
Thalassophobia
Physical | Solo
Thalassophobia is an experimental, one-shot tabletop RPG where the GM takes on the role of an otherworldly creature known as The Suit.
Can a small party of unlikely allies triumph over The Suit or will paranoia tear them asunder?
It’s free to download & play.
Color Schemers
Digital | Group
Color Schemers is a frantic party game for 2 - 4 players developed in Unity for a capstone project by a small group of UCSC students.
I worked as design lead, level designer, SFX creator, and Co-producer on the project.
Scofflaws!
Physical | Group
A unique 4-6 player party card game about deception, anonymity, and cheating.
Each player assumes the role of a particular criminal, each with their own abilities and goals.
Use your abilities to turn the game in your favor!
Luck is for chumps!
Keep It Together
Digital | Group
An abstract puzzle platformer made in Phaser in which you must tear off your limbs to progress.
This was a joint project between Max Cronce, Jake O’Neill, and Ethan Chong.
The assignment was to make the player feel a sense of exhaustion.
Design Videos
Digital | Group
We make essays on game design that particularly interest us.
We also make trailers and explanatory videos for our games.
The Woodsman
Digital | Solo
A noir style Twine game about a murder. There’s a twist though: you control both the killer and the detective.
While a single playthrough might be quick, with 200+ unique nodes, 19,000+ words, and 20+ endings there’s plenty of different paths to explore.
