The Muffin Top Mystery is an interactive YouTube series designed to explore various concepts of fake news. Players take on the role of Sarah, an employee at a bakery known as "The Muffin Top". When Sarah's coworker is abducted by a creature, she must navigate a series of cognitive biases brought by other employees in the building in order to find and rescue her friend from a terrible fate.

DEVELOPMENT
3 teams of 5 were created, each in charge of a floor of the building in which the mystery occurs. I personally lead Floor 1 as well as oversaw much of the project's development as a whole. Scripts and UX Maps were the first to be developed to provide a roadmap of the various pathways the Player would be able to navigate.

Concept Art
Characters were created to match a comic book style. Comic Book Artist Joelle Jones was referenced in particular.

Storyboards
Storyboards were created for each individual video, and intentionally kept rough due to time constraints.
Lies, Damn Lies- Video 1
Asset Creation
First, I created character sheets and an Asset List in order to outline and organize every part of each character that would need to be created and animated.

Character Sheets- Sarah
As assets for each character began production, it was evident that each artist had their own take on the agreed upon style. To help combat this and create the appearance of a more unified style, I created Sarah's assets to match as many of them as possible, as she would share the screen with each and every character.
