AHMED DADABAI
Hello! I’m Ahmed, a Game Designer and Developer from Bahrain! With a BFA in Game Design from NYU, I am currently based in New York, making Games and 3D Animations. I love prototyping action-packed designs using multiple game engines, animation software, and storyboarding. I aim to empower players to be heroes in their own lives through my story-driven gameplay and change the world one player at a time. I love making stylistic games, encouraging strategy, and offering lots of ways to destroy the environment!
