plot: the story of brokeburt, a struggling artist who paints sculptures to build a portfolio and secure a job to fix his studio's slimy pipes and end sleep-deprived hallucinations.

​

idea creation: reimagined q*bert as a painter who colors tiles as he

moves, and kept the original game's janky controls from the joystick.

​

art creation: i designed the game's environment, enemies, and level layout for brokeburt. we transformed the original game's enemies (snake and bad ball) into painter-themed enemies (paintbrush and slime). i crafted, uv-mapped, animated and textured 3d models. i made the art studio from parts with an initial concept as his wall decor, and themed the ui to brokeburt’s story, all while keeping an artsy style and low poly models.
