Writings
A collection of writings done for various assignments and which are written on the basis of self indulgement.
Writings belong to me, I do not take ownership for anything else.
Game works featured here are solely for the basis of portfolio presentation.
Arbitrium: CATastrophe
Arbitrium: CATastrophe is an assignment done for a Polytechnic module, where we had to select a senior's project and continue it as a Choose Your Own Adventure game.
The original Arbitrium was a shooting/parkour game, and in CATastrophe I transformed it into a story about assassination, cats and gods. There are multiple endings to a story, and one which hints of a continuation.
2328 (OG, uncut version)
A first person POV horror short about a nightmare, past lives and mistakes, carried forward into a reincarnated life of a salaryman named Savan.
This short is based of a 2019 personal work named 'Goodnight', a fanwork for a game Identity V, rewritten for the assignment, rewritten to feature a few new arcs, and a new friend for Savan named Mordecai, a character I borrowed from a good friend.
This is a story about acknowledging the past, and learning to cope, and to move on slowly.
Reminisence, 6000
A script/play written for a Storytelling module assignment where we had to pick a mythology story and rewrite it. My team and I picked Beowulf, and rewrote it with the dragon as a villain with good intentions as we thought, "How about a story where the villain wins for once?"
This play is about a typical self absorbed protagonist and a dragon who wants world peace, as well as the consequences that come with power.
Symphonica: First Note's Breath
A map design assignment that involved world building, an economy system, and a story.
It was created as the prequel to the Symphonica series I had done for another module named System Design, featuring an all new character named Sybil, the first of hybrid musicians in the world of Symphonica. I designed the map for the prologue stage, and crafted various locations to ensure the story and the setting would flow well as a playable game level.
Symphonica: First Note's Breath is about a man named Sybil who learns that he has been blessed by the angel to be a Conductor - one to lead the world's orchestra, however, there are evils in the world looking to obtain that same power, by hook and by crook. Now, Sybil is caught between fleeing, and fulfilling his dream of participating in the competition of a lifetime...as well as accepting his fate of becoming Conductor.
