Introducing "The Roti Canai Chronicles," a vibrant pixel-art series that reimagines the quintessential Malaysian "mamak" stall as the unlikely epicenter of intergalactic intrigue. This project brings to life a unique fusion of everyday Malaysian culture with fantastical sci-fi elements.
At its heart, the narrative centers on Abdurrahman, the unassuming mamak stall owner, whose late-night shift takes an extraordinary turn with phenomena like "flying teh tarik" and "roti canai with a mind of its own." The series follows Abdurrahman as he partners with Mek, the sharp-witted tom yum queen, and young Mamat, to unravel these bizarre occurrences. Their quest leads them through the bustling, nocturnal streets of Taman Harmoni, engaging with quirky regulars and solving mind-bending puzzles.
The ultimate challenge, however, is The Astrael, a mysterious alien entity with a penchant for chaos, threatening to unleash "intergalactic indigestion" upon the neighborhood. This project showcases character design, environmental storytelling, and narrative development, blending humor, mystery, and Malaysian charm into a captivating, pixelated adventure. It's a testament to how familiar settings can become the stage for the most extraordinary tales.
