Ren Hu: Rebel Yell was a three time Playstation Award finalist beat’em up which –at the time- was the biggest action game ever made in HTML5.

I served as the director, producer, writer, and designer for Ren Hu, leading the project through the funding, pre-production, script writing, and prototyping stages to development. With a team of 7 students who had no previous professional game development experience, I oversaw the creation of a playable alpha featuring innovative technology that ended receiving high critical acclaim.

Challenges:

• Secure initial funding.
• Lead a team of designers, animators, musicians, etc. to execute creative vision.
• Design and balance combat mechanics and enemies.
• Create initial level design.

• Develop wireframes and code for UI.
• Negotiate partnerships and licensing agreements.
• Manage marketing and Kickstarter campaign for the project.
