At Square Enix Montreal, I was the creative director on Space Invaders: Hidden Heroes, an innovative AR mobile game built with an incredibly talented team. With a brand new gameplay built from AI and Machine Learning technology, the game truly invaded the player’s reality!
ALT- Directed team of 40+ talented people to build a game and renew a classic brand, leading our game design and art teams through development
- Established, communicated and maintained the creative direction for an innovative AR experience built on new, proprietary technology
- Built relationships with major partners (Apple, Google, Samsung) with our innovative use case for their devices, through meetings and presentations
- Set the foundations for a new scifi story set in the real world, in which players would join a secret community to find hidden creatures and fight alien invaders, told through the game as well as social media and ARG elements
