Forever Soup - FUSE

Forever soup is a co-op legacy card game where you and up to 3 others add ingredients to a pot of soup and feed the village folk. It started as a catapult project for Bradley University's FUSE showcase. Of the 16 catapult games pitched, it was one of the 10 that were chosen to go into production. In its 27th iteration the game won the Golden HAM award for best in show at Bradley University's FUSE showcase. 

We've since taken the Forever Soup to the digital and in person Boston Fig 2024 events. In its 32nd iteration Forever Soup was one of 3 games nominated for Best Family Game and Best Theme at Boston Fig. Our team is working hard to improve Forever Soup as a home game experience. We hope to publish a final version in the next year.

I was chosen by my professors to lead a FUSE catapult team. Our department of 300+ students is split into 16 teams and given a few weeks to pitch an exhibit for FUSE. As team lead I act both as the lead game designer and a producer. Throughout the week I playtest and iterate on the game as well as doing stand ups every other day in our discord server. Stand ups gives me a good sense of the state of the project at any point in time so I can plan accordingly. During meetings I check in with the art team and provide feedback in addition to leading the design team through iteration cycles. I'm the line of communication between my team and the production team.
