Midwest Goodbye

Midwest Goodbye is a narrative deck builder that follows the player throughout their childhood. Midwest Goodbye was created as a passion project by 18 students over the summer to practice working in a large group.

Development

I worked as a programmer on this project. I utilized Unity 3D and C# for programming tasks. I also used Github, Figma, and Clickup.

I aided in designing the original base of the game. My main creative contribution was determining how the player would interact with family members. I additionally covered particle choices within the game. 

 

Post Release

Midwest Goodbye released on Itch.io in August of 2025. After its release, the team took Midwest Goodbye to the MDEV game conference in Wisconsin for a two day showcase. Following this appearance, the WGA invited the Midwest Goodbye team to showcase the game at GDC in the Indie Alley. Midwest Goodbye was shown at FUSE, Bradley University’s annual Interactive Media project showcase. Midwest Goodbye will be coming to Steam in 2026.
