Steam page
MiliChess
Prepared the Steam-facing material around the game: screenshots, videos, page assets, and a clearer presentation of the modes, units, and tactical loop.
Portfolio
Kyle Sutherland - game production work
My strongest role is production: organizing ideas, people, assets, systems, and deadlines so a project becomes something usable. I can make art, but the larger value is that I know how to get the work across the line.
Projects
A short set of examples where the important part is not just the image, but the planning, coordination, implementation, and presentation around the work.
Steam project
Greek Tragedy
Worked through Unity-side production tasks including character setup, puzzle logic, camera work, level context, and iteration.
Published mobile game
Tic Tac Dino
Built and published a small game for young players, including character selection, play spaces, feedback, and release packaging.
Rapid Build
Timid Waters
Finished a 48-hour game build by staying practical about layout, mood, integration, and what had to be playable by the deadline.
Systems Design
Arch Adventure
Planned maps, NPC behavior, faction conflict, and early level direction so the game had a structure to build from.
Public Showing
Indie Booths and Events
Handled public-facing game presentation: booth setup, conversations, demos, and connecting players with the work.
Production Role
This is the practical part of the work I want to show more clearly.
Scope:
Break the idea down into what can actually be made, what comes first, and what can wait.
Direction:
Keep the work pointed toward a clear audience, tone, and usable result.
Coordination:
Connect design, art, animation, code, curriculum, and presentation without letting the pieces drift apart.
Iteration:
Identify what is confusing, broken, missing, or too large, then adjust the plan.
Process
The process is simple, but it matters when people are busy and the project is messy.
Clarify
Define the audience, goal, constraints, and first useful target.
Plan
Convert ideas into tasks, references, asset needs, systems, and milestones.
Build
Make the pieces and keep progress visible.
Test
Check the experience in-engine, in-context, and with the intended player or learner.
Present
Package the work for a build, class, demo, event, or public page.
Art and Asset Browser
Choose a type of work, then use the arrows, thumbnails, or mouse wheel over the display to move through labeled examples: 3D models, 2D assets, game screens, process work, and object studies.
Pixel Art
I still want this here because I like the work and it shows follow-through. The useful part for production is the asset range: ships, structures, props, effects, enemies, and variations that could belong to one game world.
Other Relevant Work
Some of the work is not a clean game screenshot, but it still matters to production.
Teaching and Curriculum
Built lessons and class activities around digital art, game engines, technical skills, and student projects.
Community and Events
Supported developer community work through SMGDA, public events, discussions, and shared resources.
Technical Comfort
Worked across Unity, Blender, 3D assets, 2D art, animation, gameplay logic, AI behavior, and web pages.
