THE BOARD GAME

Over the last 5 years, I've been designing, developing, and playtesting a 4X-light battle royal board game: The Battle of Fleets & Fortunes. The prototype is in a final state (with hundreds of successful playtests) and is currently in the early stages of final production.

ORIGIN OF A DESIGNER

In 1999, I, Majin Mebs, founded Majin Planet: a Dragon Ball Z fansite. At the age of 16, I was unknowingly taking my first step into the design world, and about to start a domino effect of design firsts that would forever change the rest of my life.

SCREENPLAYS & TREATMENTS

These works - finished and unfinished, are depictions and representations of concepts and ideas I've been battling my entire life. Some manifest in stinging romantic comedies, others in fantasy/horror, and some in DrangonballZ-inspired superhero mania.
