Codename: Runner
Game Design and Passion Collide
- A LighthammerFX projectCodename: Runner
This project started as a game concept in my head that I detailed into a full game design document and garnered some attention from designers and developers to get on board and build. It spawned a Indie game dev brand and studio in Harrisburg, PA named LightHammerFX.
The game itself was designed as a first person shooter with a tower defense strategy component based on a unique story and esports opportunities.

Storytelling
Game design is one thing, telling a story that can translate to other mediums is another.
The goal for the Codename: Runner IP was always to live in other media. Comic books, animated shorts, even movies if the interest was there.
