This project is a part of Aalto University's European Union-wide initiative to educate people on cyber crime and how to be vigilant when using the internet. In this idle game, you are a part of a robot network that attempts to scam people, so you will learn caution through seeing how the scams are performed. The gameplay loop consists of building and upgrading "generators" that perform scams and get Data (currency) in return.

Roles: Lead Artist, Concept Artist, Game Artist
Tools: Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Unity
Responsibilities:
- Character and environment art and design and creation
- I also helped create the pitch and its visuals that eventually won us the project!
