24-hour Game Jam

Download and Play Hammerhead High

Love Jam Website

I created Hammerhead High for a 24-hour game jam put on by USC’s Makers of Entertaining Games Association. The purpose of the jam was to promote positivity and diversity in the games industry. I made Hammerhead High because I wanted to make people laugh, and I also wanted to draw adorable sharks. The game is a parody of a dating sim, replacing all human characters with sharks. I took inspiration from Hatoful Boyfriend and Tsundere Shark Reddit.

Gameplay by The Drunk and Ugly Podcast:

Hammerhead High was build in the Ren’py visual novel engine. I would highly recommend this engine to anyone interested in creating interactive fiction.
