Games

Engine of War - A Shoot 'em up/Build-stuff game. Built over 8 months with a small team, this project was one of the most valuable to me, in terms of work experience.

The Scourge - A game made for the Toronto GameJam,
it was made over 3 days and 2 nights. Featured in the IndieGames blog, this game experiements with interactive storytelling, placing the player in the game as both the protagonist and the storyteller.

Review of Engine of War by Jim Mcginnly:

"Toronto genius Michael Todd, programmer of TOJam's The Scourge, recently won the IndieGame Developers Showcase thanks to his 1-man masterpiece Engine of War. He was up against some seriously good competition, and it was a public vote, so you know this game is good. Imagine an action game where you can completely rewire your ship. Now stop imagining because there's a demo. "
