"Through MeshMesh's Eyes" (فى عيون مشمش) is an interactive webgl experience aiming to encourage children (and others!) to learn more about Egypt's rich history and culture. In the game you get to play as a mischievous cat named MeshMesh as he strolls around the streets of Cairo hoping to uncover more facts and secrets about his own heritage.
This was my graduation project for my BA in Digital Media. Every element, from models and environments to assets, illustrations, animations, and environment sounds, was meticulously crafted from scratch. Set against the backdrop of Downtown Cairo, one of my cherished locations on Earth, this project was a labor of love.
The entire modeling process was executed using Maya3D, animations were created with Blender, and the game mechanics were implemented in Unity. If you're interested in some behind the scenes you can visit the following links:
