    uniE608 “A Joke About Spider-Sense, Or Something..” (2024)
    This is a skit I directed, storyboarded and animated for an animation collab on Newgrounds, featuring skits based on games that were on the SEGA Dreamcast. The game that’s parodied is Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash Of Superheroes. I also took the liberty in playing the voice of Spider-Man. DenshaVA and Broly of Newgrounds voice Morrigan and Megaman (respectively in the same order). Original music was composed by Genesiskeys of YouTube. The 3d model of Morrigan’s weapon was sculpted by Newground’s singpiano. The skit has been front paged by Newgrounds founder, Tom Fulp as well as being in 4th place on the site’s daily features. and animator filmdirector videoeditor
    uniE608 Panic Attack Featuring Cashy The Hamster (TBA, 2024)
    This is another small game project of mine, borrowing assets from “Cashy The Hamster” unlike the other game, which was a platformer, this game is a puzzle game, where you must escape the room before either your opponent does, or the rising acid engulfs you. Inspired by Risky Challenge (Gussun Oyoyo in Japan), Panic Attack will surely live to its name. The following is a mockup, as production has just began, however, assets and sprites are ready to go and should see a release sometime this year. It will be free to play on itch.io and Newgrounds.
    uniE608 Cashy The Hamster (TBA)
    This is an upcoming passion project of mine. An indie, Run n’ Gun game created, designed and directed by me and animated by me and the awesome team at LuckoDaStars, who’s current members of this project have been featured in various projects (Glyde The Dragon, Jujutsu Kaisen, etc.) Here is an example of the animation for our main Mutant, Hamster Hero, Cashy, provided by me, Oatmeal Pechneg and Yourrealcruise, all of which can be found on Newgrounds! I did some refurbishments, corrections and cleanups on their parts in order to make the character on model. I animated the walk cycles, run cycles, shoot action, as well as her ground pound technique.
    uniE621 Cashy The Hamster: Beginnings (TBA)
