Detective Dana المحققة دانة
Part of a cultural program to foster the gaming scene in the Arabic-speaking market, Detective Dana has a lot of hype around it and is expected to release for Android & iOS in Summer 2025. This game is developed by a multicultural team of 11 people, with me being the sole programmer. In this case, I work in close collaboration with the lead designer, writers and 2D & UI artists.
Inspired by Ace Attorney and Arabian mythology, Detective Dana is a mystery game that follows the titular character as she solves cases involving people from all corners of the world.
In development since late 2023, gameplay footage of the game, alongside animated cutscenes, was showcased in winter 2024 to an audience of ~100k people in the Arabic-speaking market.

My Responsibilities
- Ensured the game is fully compatible with right-to-left Arabic writing. This meant that the layout of the UIs had to be mirrored in most cases.
- My extension, Naninovel Scene Assistant, was used by the scenario writers to construct the scenes and extra tools were developed to assist with the camera direction.
