Rift City Rebels is a multiplayer platform fighter set in a near-future reimagining of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Take control of one of seven exciting characters and battle against up to three friends or the computer for control of the Downtown Exclusion Zone!

This game was the final project my classmates and I completed at Red River College as part of the Game Development program. This project came together in a marvel of teamwork and passion. We completed it in only 6 months.

Rift City Rebels was shown at the 2026 RRC Grad Show to enormous praise. I couldn't be more proud of the work of my classmates or more grateful for everything they taught me.

For a look into the team dynamic, you can view our retrospective documentary on my YouTube channel.

As a character artist for this project, I was responsible for one of seven characters: EK-0, the rebellious robot.

Working with Nat Mogk (gameplay programmer) and Nicole Hamm (character artist) to design the narrative was one of my favourite parts of this experience. Nicole's imagination really shone with the design of EK-0's creator, billionaire CEO Elias Kane

I hope to create many more exciting characters with creatives like them in the future.
