Uncle Noruz and the Snowman's Dream, an exciting new platformer for PC and Mac.

I created the chracter and cinematic animations in the project. In this project I had to study and research the characters personalities from ancient Iranian culture. We had hours of meeting discussing who Amo Norouz and Nane Sarma were and how to show them in the game. Ancient Iranian culture is always interesting to me and I really enjoyed working on the project.

In this project I was the lead cinematic animator and director. The animations were a blend of motion capture and manual animation. The experience directing the characters based on the storyboard with our software and hardware limitations was extremely hard but also interesting. In this project I was introduced with cinematic cameras in Unity3D and the cinematic camera in 3D Max.

Animating weird humanoid and non-humanoid characters and creating realistic animations was also a new experience I had in the project.

The New Life of Sara is a RPG game.

This was first experience in a game project. I learnt 3D modeling and creating one of the environments of the game which in time brought me closer to animation and turned me into an animator. I also worked on some of the game’s art and advertising posters.

Transit Mania is a mobile transport management game for iOS and Android devices. You have to create a smooth and dynamicly flowing transport network to deliver passengers to their destinations. Fail to do so and you loose!

I worked on Transit Mania as a designer and an artist. Integrating art with the game design was one of our biggest struggles in the project. We wanted the art to be as simple as possible while still having the meaning we had in mind.
Transit Mania is currently in its final stages of development and is currently undergoing heavy testing and polishing and is scheduled for release in the very near future.

Bidari won the 2013 best game design award at Tehran’s 2nd international game festival and
also was nominated as 2013 best music award at Tehran’s 2nd international game festival.
