Debt Whackers

Debt Whackers is the world’s greatest Web AR video game that’s themed around student loan debt.

It’s about whacking student loan debt collectors. It’s weird and we love it. Picture this: you’re armed with a virtual mallet and get to whack debt dealing weasels and scamming snakes. But don’t hit Mr. Rozay, also known as The Collector, three times or it’s game over!

The talented full team consisted of Mr Lubo Designs for 3D illustration, Emre Ozdemir for web development and myself.

The complete experience included a letterpress card, a WebAR game, and an official game anthem. My collaborative process with Mr. Lubo Designs was pivotal for the character development. Providing clear direction while allowing artistic freedom resulted in characters that were both true to my vision and enriched by his creativity. 

Music is often the unsung hero of video games. To develop that key component, I used AI to create a catchy anthem for Debt Whackers. I created the anthem lyrics in collaboration with ChatGPT and the melody was built using Suno AI.
