What motivated you to develop/create this project?

I was motiovated by the potential of this project. An existing movie/book suitable for teens and adults can be adapted to a child-friendly platform such as Lego and introduce younger audiences to an existing franchise. Additionally, fans of The Hunger Games can re-experience the story through Lego with the comedic humour of Lego games. It raises the question: How can something violent and serious be made funny?

What has been a highlight of your time at Abertay?

The highlight for me as an Abertay student has been the opportunities to work on group projects. One group project even led to the Dare Academy game competition where students were able to present work in London at EGX.

What are your hopes and future ambitions for after graduation?

I hope to gain work experience in the games industry, continuing to develop and grow my skills in 3D modelling.
