NMSU Learning Games Lab - Science of Soil Project

The latest, ongoing project I am working on at NMSU Media Productions is Science of Soil, a collection of animations and classroom interactives aimed to review and introduce intermediate math concepts to incoming Environmental Science Undergrads. 




This project is still in development and more modules are coming! I have written/ co-written, animated and managed various modules on the Science of Soil project.This project was made as a whole by the NMSU Media Productions and Learning Games Lab. Although I contributed to this project, I did so as part of a team with other talented artists and developers.


Feral Justice!

Feral Justice! is a Project written by Seth Powers for the 2D Short Production class at NMSU's Creative Media Institute. The final short is still in production, although these two trailers have been released.
