STREET CAT POLITICS:

Mentee with Pixelles' Game Incubator XI, 2023


I applied to and was selected to participate in 2023's annual Game Development Incubator with Pixelles hosted in Montréal, Québec. Through their 8 week program, I learned the principles of game design and successfully created my very first game in Unreal Engine 5.1.1. With some help from mentors and intense self-study, I designed, modeled, animated, and coded every asset and function in Street Cat Politics with no prior experience in game development. My game and the work of 11 other participants were showcased at EA Motive on November 30th, 2023. Street Cat Politics is available to download on itch.io here.
