Who are we?
We are Project J2K! A team of three inspired Immersive Media and Game Design Students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, looking to bring some new fun and immersive gaming experiences into this world!
Our group is best described as a “Jack of All Trades” team as each of our members stands out in various aspects of the work but not particularly a master in any.
In case you’re wondering how our name came about, ‘J2K’ simply is an abbreviation of the first letter in our names – Joey (J), Kerwin (K), and Kiki (K), combining both Ks into 2K. Hence, the name Project J2K.

Current Endeavors
We are currently developing a 2D fantasy pixel art game called ‘Champion of Hygeia’. This game is set to be in medieval times. You will be controlling the main character, Athalia, who sets out on an adventure to avenge her dead family, slain by the hands of the evil warlock.
The player, tasked to adventure out to uncharted lands and explore, will complete quests, obtain items and rewards, slay enemies and defeat the evil warlock!
Where do we start?
With the theme of ‘Jack of all trades’, we will be posting daily tutorials throughout the week based on our skillset! With the focus being around 3 areas, Sound Design, Concept Art, and Digital Illustration. Therefore, do check us out.
Joey is proficient in design and video editing. Kerwin is adept in design and creating music. Last but not least, Kiki has the design and modeling skills! Together, we want to share our knowledge of these topics onto you, through the use of these tutorials.
