I've been working on "Fist of Fame", a college project done in assignment for Guerilla Games. Our group of eight students was to create a prototype for a game which would reinvigorate the 2D beat-em-up genre. In this game, the player would play the action hero in their own action movie. I mostly worked on 2D art for this game, but I also did some promotional materials like this trailer. And this poster:

And this case insert:

I wrote the story on the back in red in five minutes, and it still makes more sense than most Steven Seagal movies.

On the 21nd of January, we presented our game to the public at the HKU Project Market. Our stand was awesome. First of all, we had a bar with a giant tv playing our trailer on loop, all day, way too loud. We also had disco lights.

It was crowded at our stand pretty much the entire day, both outside and inside. Inside we had three computers set up for the public to play our game. As you can see, we had shirts printed especially for this.

Food was pretty good too.

Here's me explaining our game to one of the many parents and seniors who came to our booth for some reason.

It was all a huge success and it was great to get so many positive responses from the public.
