PELOTA

May 2021

Pelota is an online competitive sports title with foundations in Mesoamerican history and culture. The game's design is focused on delivering an experience of competition, teamwork, and emergent gameplay. 

Pelota was greenlit for USC's Advanced Game Project capstone program, and was a headliner at the 2021 USC Games Expo.

As director of this project, I was responsible for managing a team of 20 developers, coordinating between disciplines, and maintaining the game's creative direction. I also designed the player movement abilities and gameplay systems alongside our design, engineering, and art teams. Additionally, I provided engineering support for gameplay, networking, and UI features.
