PROTOTYPE: Surprise Attack! Superhero-Cartoon inspired Boss Fight
I was inspired while watching Spectacular Spider-Man (2008) to make a Boss fight where the Boss targets civilians mid-fight! Since its a classic supervillain trope I wanted to try translating it into a high stakes Boss battle!
PITCH: Retrospective: “Scribbler”, my narrative game pitch
Scribbler is a level based adventure game where the player controls a teenager who has been accused of murder and has to evade the police and go to dangerous lengths involving a gang conspiracy to find the evidence to prove himself innocent. The idea explores the main theme of identity and who you believe people are, as well as challenging who you look up to as you start to mature.

PROTOTYPE: My friend went to Bait Abdullah and all he got was this stupid Level
For our level design class at NYU, our midterm assignment was to create a level based on a real world location, so I based mine off an abandoned house in Bahrain! Based on a true story, play as a graffiti artist trying collect cans while stealthily avoiding cops patrolling the area!
ANIMATION: I took a Motion Capture class and made a cool fight scene!
For my Motion Capture class at NYU, our group created “Untitled Fight Scene”, a 3D animated short fight scene that follows two characters fighting in a dream-like train setting!
