Burj Dubai
Burj Dubai was created as a final for a Human Rights class. The goal of the project was to show what sort of actions the construction companies were taking to build the Burj Dubai (renamed the Burj Khalifa after completion), and many of the other construction sites in Dubai.
The player takes on the rule of managing the construction site, and goes through the actions of suppressing the workers and cutting expenses, trying to maintain budget while keeping construction milestones. At the end, the progress and completion is measured, and all the human rights violations they committed are accounted and displayed to the player/
I came up with the idea for the final from my independent research into Dubai, and created the game, collected the art and did a large portion of the research. Amanda Vendeventer contributed research to the project.
