Carl Braun - EPIC BATTLES MORTAL KOMBAT TRADING CARD GAME CREATION

Publisher: Score Entertainment Licensing: Midway Product Development | Creative Direction | Graphic Design: Carl Braun Release Date: April 2005 through September 2006 Product Info: Imagine a Street Fighter character using Mortal Kombat signature moves against a Tekken 5 character using Street Fighter techniques - this is Epic Battles!! A tremendously fun trading card game that allows players to combine characters and moves in a no-holds-barred free for all. I became the Product Development Manager / Creative Director of Score Entertainment during the development of this game. My days were spent on the phone with Udon Comics, Cold Fuzion Studios or various freelancers working through the original artwork for the game, dealing with licensors on approvals, directing the graphic design team, producing fresh designs myself, overseeing the game play design and playtesters or working with production to ensure a quality end result. And I LOVED every second of it!!! It was a tremendous challenge with demanding restrictions, but ever so rewarding when we pulled it off. Now... Choose Your Fighter!
