Ren & the Fractal World — AI 30s Loop Short Film Ren & the Fractal World is an experimental AI-driven short film built around a simple idea: a videogame world that continuously transforms, expands, and loops back into itself. The Concept The project follows Ren as he explores a surreal fractal world populated by characters, environments, and objects from his videogame universe. The visual language combines cinematic sci-fi, fantasy, and recursive fractal structures to create a world that feels infinite — where every scene can become the beginning of another. My Process I started by building the world before generating the visuals. First, I created a story overview to define the narrative and overall direction. Then I developed the key characters, including Ren and the characters from his videogame. From there, I designed the scenarios and items, such as the Orb Sword, giving each element a clear role and visual identity within the world. Once the universe was structured, I translated these ideas into detailed prompts and began generating, selecting, and refining the visuals. The final piece was assembled through an iterative process of story development, prompting, visual generation, experimentation, and refinement. The Result The result is a cinematic exploration of an infinite videogame world — a story that doesn't really have a beginning or an end. The final sequence is designed as a continuous loop, reinforcing the idea that Ren is constantly moving through an endlessly regenerating world.

The goal was to extend the game's universe beyond gameplay by creating a fun cosmetic experience where users can virtually wear their favorite characters as hats. This project explores character-driven AR, lightweight wearable design, and creating complementary experiences that strengthen a game's identity.

Pet Feast! 🐾 I challenged myself to build a casual game using Snapchat's new Easy Lens. The process started with a simple sketch, followed by a prompt that generated a playable prototype in minutes. From there, I iterated on the gameplay, refined the visuals, added animations and polish, and turned the idea into Pet Feast—a fast-paced game where you feed adorable pets by swiping the right food. It's a great example of how AI can accelerate prototyping while still leaving room for creative direction and game design decisions. 🎮 Play Pet Feast on Snapchat! #easylenscontra
