24 Blue

24 Blue is a 3rd person action simulation of plane directors and “Shooters” who are responsible for directing aircraft and commanding the four catapults on the deck of the USS Harry S Truman (CVN-75) an American Aircraft Carrier developed for the US Navy.

The simulation uses a gamepad for user input and depicts the ordered chaos and constant danger of the flight deck.

A follow on proposal by myself was to update the system to use the XBOX 360 Kinect system to allow players to act out the actual visual commands they would be using in their normal jobs instead of the game pad. The Navy rejected the idea due to cost of hardware and new development.

COMMAND AND CONQUER 3
KANE'S WRATH

Kane's Wrath is an expansion pack developed for Command and Conquer 3:Tiberium Wars.

Kane's Wrath added 27 new vehicles and structures to the base game and in addition to the new vehicles, Each main faction (GDI, NOD, and the Scrin) received a two new "sub" factions, specialty groups with individual tech trees and abilities.

Along with a normal linear campaign, the game also included a new global domination conquest mode, which was a "Risk" style board game where the player builds and controls their forces from a global map.

The reviews for Kane's Wrath were overwhelmingly positive, with the expansion scoring higher scores than the base game.

TTHE LORD OF THE RINGS
THE BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH II
THE RISE OF THE WITCH KING

The Rise of the Witch king is the offical expansion for the Electronic Arts title The Battle for Middle Earth II.

The expansion included a total of 30 new units to the game, a new faction (Angmar), and a campaign based around the conflict between Arnor and Angmar.

The lore used to create the campaign was drawn from Tolkien's notes and stories and was reviewed and approved by the Tolkien estate for accuracy and approved.

In reviews, along with base scores being better then the core game, praised my missions for fun and creativity.

TRIVIA: This games holds the Guinness Book of World Records for Longest Title of a Video Game, ever.

CODE YELLOW

Code Yellow - A hospital Emergency code alerting staff to a pending emergency or disaster.

CODE YELLOW is a online only simulation that allows hospital staff to perfect their assigned roles during a disaster or major emergency. The simulation allowed for over a hundred players and observers to participate in one of several FEMA certified scenarios. These scenarios also met the National Incident management System (NIMS) protocols for yearly training required by the government after the 9/11 attacks.

While the simulation represents real emergencies and protocols, care was taken to also make the simulation fun and entertain to keep players engaged and open to learning.

This product is in use in multiple local and federal locations around the United States.

MOSBE

MOSBE (MOdeling and Simulation Builder for Everyone) is an extremely customizable simulator suited to reproduce a variety of training situations, from military tactics to emergency responders training.

Mosbe uses USGS typography data to generate realistic 3D worlds.

Scenarios can be generated in a matter of hours, allowing teams to solve problems rapidly and efficiently.

Mosbe can handle single players and up to 64 players with each player having a defined level of responsibility to promote command and controls systems.

Simulation handles from a small squad or unit up to Brigade levels with loss in fidelity.

MY HERC DONT WORK

In My Herc Won’t Work, players participate in an interactive serious game that teaches troubleshooting and repair processes for propulsion technicians. Players work through a series of distinct sections, wherein they receive training – via discovery – into the most viable way to ask questions, track information, and arrive at a diagnosis in the least amount of time. The game also requires the player to interview, read and research just as they would in the real world, questioning the same people they would normally do, and using the same research materials as well.

This game was created to meet the training requirement for the rising false positive incidents amongst technical personnel, increasing costs.

NBCOT PortalNavigator

The NBCOT Navigator is a portal providing access to and completion tracking for a series of virtual continuing competency assessment tools for Occupational Therapists. BreakAway partnered with NBCOT (The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy) to create this tool that allows occupational therapists the chance to obtain points towards their recertification through participating in a series of on-line interactions. The certificant’s profile and responses to a self-reflection questionnaire establish the user’s focus and result in a list of recommended tools for the certificant to take. Upon completion of each tool, rewards and recognition are assigned based on performance, and readings and references are provided as feedback for continuing education.

NBCOT Navigator provides access to online quizzes, case simulations and learning games.

vHEALTHCARE

vHealthcare is a virtual environment that allows healthcare professionals to practice their skills and learn new techniques. vHealthcare is a suite of creation tools that allows educators to create medical cases that fit their curriculum. vHealthcare™ is a system that can assess the competency and knowledge of doctors, nurses, dentists, allied healthcare workers.

vHealthcare allows general healthcare practitioners to diagnose and recommend treatment for patients brought into a trauma center. Patients are displayed in front of the player who in turn reviews the patient’s vitals, going through the traditional “ABC” method for determining treatment. The players make a number of medical choices during their evaluation and in the end, are scored based upon those decisions.

This simulation is presented on Multiple Platforms, including AR and VR systems.

PICO STATION

Pico Station provides players with the ability to learn about and engage in Systemic Occupational Therapy Practice (SOTP) as well as learning how to form good clinical questions using the PICO (Patient Problem, intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) methods in a safe and fun environment

The game takes place aboard Pico Station, a space station in high Mars orbit. Pico Station is a medical station specializing in Occupational Therapy for visiting alien races as well.

The reason the game was placed in a fantastic setting was to remove players from their normal routine, removing their ability to make judgements based on experience alone.

MAINTAINER

MAINTAINER was created as a cost effective training solution for army personnel learning to operate the launch system for the RQ-7 Drone System.

Playing a 3D world, the player would task ground crew to perform actions while also performing other actions themselves. The objective of any scenario was to perform all pre-launch tasks as quickly and accurately as possible.

OT CLINIC MAKEOVER

OT Clinic Makeover is a fun learning simulation that places the player in the position of an employee that has been "promoted" to management of an occupational therapy clinic.

Employees in the real world have this happen more often then you would think, they are not prepared to handle the outcome of this promotion and the clinic suffers as a result, hence the need for the game as a basic primer on what a manager should be thinking about on a day to day and week to week basis.

The game covers budgeting, scheduling and human resource problems that a new manager would most likely encounter. Most of it covers patient scheduling which is a serious problem in the OT world.

DUKE MEDICAL PROJECT

Duke University of Medicine commissioned a project to create an multiplatform simulation dedicated to creating a universal method of patient handoff since each medical facility handles handoffs differently and patients were suffering from inefficient processes being used.

The project centers around different patients and medical personnel that would be part of a handoff. Players would plan the handoff and then let the simulation run. Being scored on their performance in planning the hand off.

This project was made for multiple mobile and desktop platforms and was created using a multinational team located in 4 countries.

VIRTUAL RESPONDER

In Virtual Responder, you play through the career of an EMT. Your goal is to use the skills and critical thinking associated with being an EMT in a high-tension life-and-death situation. The game tells stories about first responders and the lives they save. These multiple levels of drama create engagement for the player and enforce appropriate real world constraints on learning the content.

Developed in Unity as a first-person game. Available in VR, Mobile, and Desktop platforms.
