Anabelle Lee<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n
2D Artist & Writer \/ Hooligan<\/address>\n

\"\"<\/a>Anabelle Lee is a graduate student at the ETC aiming to be a videogame writer. After acquiring an undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University double majoring in Professional and Creative Writing, along with some experience in Communication Design, she decided that trying to burrow into the videogame industry might be more exciting that becoming a starving writer. She loves videogames (first-person shooters and action-adventure games in particular) and comics and very trashy (and\/or violent) B-movies, and very much enjoys the futuristic vibe of the TATRC project. She also thinks writing in third-person is kind of cumbersome, but then again it’s the social convention so there’s nothing much to do about it. And so it goes.<\/p>\n

Arvind Kumar<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
3D Artist & Game Designer \/ Dalai Lama<\/address>\n

\"\"<\/a>Arvind came to the ETC in 2010 to pursue his masters with a view of entertainment technology as an interactive art form. His perception is rooted in the combination of undergraduate major in Information Technology and his interest in creating traditional and digital art. His experience covers a wide range of roles which include organizing events, playing live music, analyzing data for huge multinational corporations, traveling, programming and making art, but his primary focus lies in the role of a technical artist for games. Always interested in challenging himself in new fields, he is also practicing his game design skills as a designer in TATRC – and being a huge proponent of theme and story, Arvind aims to create an engaging experience for the project demographic.<\/p>\n
