Other Projects 2011 - 2013

Squadron Tower Defense Arguably the most popular Starcraft II arcade game of all time. I made this as a freshman in college and it is still topping the charts for most played. At its peak popularity, Squad TD was receiving over 40,000 hours of play time per week in the US. I regularly updated and maintained the game until handing it over to other developers in mid-2013 so I could focus more on my studies. AUG - DEC 2012
