No Crooks on Christmas is a 3D tower defense game with a fun holiday theme. Use turrets and special abilities to defend your house against a relentless onslaught of crooks and save Christmas. After you’ve mastered the core game, test out your skills in the newly added Survival Mode!
Grave Digger is a simple 2D memory game made for the 2021 GameDev.tv Game Jam in June 2021. The theme of the jam was “All that glistens is not gold.” Find all of the empty graves before the timer runs out and avoid the graveyard’s curse!
The Coffee Shop is a 2D text adventure made for the Narrative Driven Game Jam on Itch.io in February 2021. The theme of the jam was “Locked In.” The game is a mysterious thriller with several surprise endings. Can you escape the coffee shop and survive?
The Ghastly Guesser is a 2D name guessing game with a haunted twist. The project builds on the logic used in the Number Wizard demo (see my demo projects below). Make friends with a ghost and marvel at his psychic abilities in this fun game for all ages!
My next project is a 2D adventure game with a merchant/seafaring theme. I provide updates on the game in my devlog on Itch.io.

Short games I’ve made with C# & Unity
I’m Taryn, a Unity/C# developer and technical writer. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to two little girls.
I’ve been a gamer and writer all my life and am a self-taught programmer. My academic background is in the Humanities. I have a Master’s degree in History from McMaster University and a Technical Writing diploma from Humber College.
As a seasoned writer, I strive to tell stories through the games I make. Crafting connections with people through creative media is my mission. It’s my belief that the games we play help us create a community wherever we go.
So let’s play!
