An RPG/rouge-like where four players will act as adventurers and one player will act as the dungeon. The dungeon sets up the rooms where the adventurers will fight off enemies, guiding them to the final boss where they will learn an important lesson about their past actions. The adventurers, unsure of themselves + their surroundings, must work together to hopefully regain their memories or simply get through the dungeon + defeat the final boss.

"Fisht Fight" is a game that envelops the idea of hyper masculinity, and takes the idea to extreme absurdity through placing the player in VR to create as immersive of an experience as possible, combined with a goofy art style. 

In this world, fish have had enough of being used for sport and have decided to fight back! However, in turn, a new sport of Fisht Fighting was introduced where fishers attempt to juggle the fish in the air to get combos. This creates concerns of conflict with biocentrism, however the player ignores this as they are a toxic hyper-masculine male that enjoys the adrenaline rush of competing in a sport that combines two of their favorite activities: boxing and fishing, something they always wanted to take further to the extreme. 

Now, go FISHT FIGHT and break a new combo record!!!

FORWARD: Farming Towards Our Future, is an NYU MFA Thesis about community building through urban farming in a futuristic Solarpunk setting that reframes the solarpunk genre to serve marginalized voices. It is a love letter about the inspiration for our future that communities around the world are already actively working towards today. Through the lens of Solarpunk, we as designers are reclaiming and exploring our stories of the future in the cities and lands that we’ve been dealt with through the historical and cultural identity of upcycling, and how the verb farming has lost the most vital aspect that folks forget — growing, building, and supporting relationships.

Experience Sarah and Jamie’s internal turmoil through the lens of fleeting moments, both past and present.

The night is quiet and the night is cool
When all the children have left the school
When silence falls over toys and books
and any coats left on their hooks
All is quiet and all is soft
When the teacher has turned the lights off
Yet…
When lights are out and curtains are drawn
When streetlamps flicker and shadows yawn
What creatures emerge from the corners and cracks?
What nightmares lurk when we’ve turned our backs?
Best to keep the lights on then
Lest the monsters come out again

Lights Out is an isomorphic platforming game where you play as an art project left behind within a kindergarten after everyone has left. But with no adults around, there is no one to scare the monsters away. Navigate puzzles and monsters alike as you try to turn the lights back on!

Play as Arya: junker, ship jockey, and fighter. Lacking working thrusters, her ship is equipped with her latest contraption, the Rope Tool — a grappling hook and a stapler duct taped together.

Swing through the corpse of an asteroid mining gold rush. Gather rockets from the rubble of all-consuming corporate rivalry to propel yourself to blinding speeds. Launch those rockets to take down abandoned drones or set off the industrial explosives left lying around. Everything in this physics-led zero-gravity world is an opportunity for chaos and speed.

The forces you're up against are stronger than you, more advanced than you, richer than you. They will knock you down, knock everything you've scraped together right off of your ship. But they can't keep you down. You always come back.

“TIME: Journey to Nowruz” is an immersive, educational, and inspiring game that offers a unique window into the vibrant culture and rich history of Iran. This game, centered around Nowruz, the Persian New Year, immerses players in the tradition of curating the Haftsin table and participating in cherished Persian rituals. It serves as a bridge, bonding Iranian immigrants together and encouraging them to share their distinctive traditions in their new communities.

The game provides a snapshot of Iran’s abundant historical, cultural, and mystical narratives, waiting to be explored. Designed with advanced storytelling, gamified rituals, and immersive environments, it steers players through imaginatively reconstructed historical and fictional settings, brimming with interactive historical and cultural artifacts.

The story follows a young boy, Farid, on his quest to revive Nowruz and reunite with his family to celebrate the arrival of spring. Tasked with helping his grandmother prepare for the New Year celebration, Farid embarks on a magical journey back to the creation of Nowruz. In Persepolis, the heart of the Achaemenid Empire, Farid meets with Cyrus the Great, Haji Firuz, and Amu Nowruz. By collecting items reflecting Haftsin traditions, he breaks the frozen curse cast by Nane Sarma. The game culminates in a vibrant Nowruz celebration, highlighting familial bonds, cultural heritage, and the transformative power of traditions.

“TIME: Journey to Nowruz” is more than just a game; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Persian culture, a celebration of heritage, and a testament to the transformative power of traditions.
