We created this mobile game for the Nokia N73. As a marketing campaign, we created a website, flyers to mimic coupons from a real fast-food chain & 3 t-shirts to represent the combo meals. I hope you enjoy :)

VFS

Vancouver Film School was a stepping stone for my game design career, I learned the ABC to XYZ of game design & met many amazing fellow students across campuses. Instructors & mentors were talented, experienced and dedicated. Finally, the school effectively facilitated networking and prepared me for the realities & challenges of the game industry.
