Team PokPok participated in the Global Game Jam 2012 in Sydney. It is basically a game jam event where you get to create a game in only 48 hours based on a common secret theme.
We created a little experimental game called Maru. My role was being the designer and animator.

The video below is a basic preview of how the game plays.



It was an interesting experience indeed. I was very tired and grumpy after the 48 hours, but I learnt a lot from it and I'm now even more hungry to create more...

Finally, here is an update with some artwork from a R&D piece that Hendrik and I worked on at Soap Creative for the Monster Art Show to celebrate Halloween.

My role as the concept artist/designer was to come up with the character visuals while Hendrik modelled and rigged the character to implement into Unity to work with the Kinect. It was lots of fun as it was more of an experimental interactive piece of art for the opening night of the exhibition.

From basic shapes, to sketches, to finger painting, to a black and white volumetric study

Here is an actual quick screen recording of the work in progress:
