Fishtopolis was designed for Central Maryland Transportration Alliance to be used in their Transportation 101 course. Fishtopolis is a pitching and voting game where players take the role of a transportation enthusiast, and create different projects to make the transportation for the fish people (“feeple”) in Fishtopolis better.
Players must get their pitch funded by winning the votes of their competitors; the player with the most crystals at the end of 3 rounds wins the game! This game is played with multiple "regions" playing their own smaller games that will compete at the end.

This is the initial prototype of Soarin’ Scurry designed for MICA’s Installation Games course. Soarin' Scurry is a two-player racing game where players run by stomping with their feet, and fly by flapping their arms in our custom-built controllers. Test your navigational skills by collecting more bread as you race to reach the finish line first! 2D game, art, animation, and controllers were made by Dungeon Dolphin Games (Michelle Pineda, Miki Straus, and Nikolas Wood).
In this phase, we experimented with conductive slippers and placing buttons on players’ inner arms that connected to the backpacks with individual Adafruit Trinkets, allowing the buttons to translate to keyboard inputs. Although our initial controllers succeeded in their functionality, they were prone to wear and tear, with wires falling loose from their connections and the straps of our slippers falling off.
