Aegis Defenders is a 2D platformer+tower defense game released on February 8, 2018, for Steam (Mac+Win), PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Originally Kickstarted in 2014 by my brother, Bryce, I joined the project in 2016 and became the sole engineer, rewriting most of the original prototype/demo code, optimizing performance, implementing tools to speed up development, adding new features, and porting to consoles.
The game received the Famitsu Cross Review’s Gold Award and was nominated for the 2018 SXSW’s Gamer’s Voice Award. It was selected to show at multiple conventions including:
