A game that taught cyber awareness through play. The working files were used with our Digital Media students in their studies.
Started as a fun idea in a Future Focus Friday session, taking inspiration from our comic raising awareness on cyber security. This became the next phase of CQUniversity’s campain to make people aware of potential hacks. The concept was to teach cyber awareness principles through each of the “cyber criminals” antics. If you didn’t stop the hack during the level, they will be so much harder to defeat in the boss battle.
My role was to develop the functionality, art assets, design and sounds for the game. Working closely with the writers of the comic to ensure it follows cannon and all their puns.
I have a bit of a soft spot for pixel art growing up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System. I wanted to capture the aesthetic of some of my favorite games, however extend on the system limitations to create a unique look.
Also as a chiptune artist, all the music was created and played through my modified NES
