Design journey

Pokopop is an engaging mobile game centered around solving puzzles. I meticulously crafted all the visuals from scratch, dedicating extensive hours on my Wacom tablet to bring this video game to life. My contributions encompass interface design, UX, icons, matte painting (backgrounds), textures, and overall art direction, including animation, 2D models, and gameplay.

Gameplay

I was responsible for the level design, ensuring a cohesive and captivating player experience throughout.

Design Process

I conducted a comprehensive UX workflow analysis and crafted the UI design, ensuring an intuitive and seamless player experience. The UX workflow analysis involved mapping out user journeys, identifying pain points, and optimizing interactions to enhance usability. Then I focused on creating visually appealing, user-friendly interfaces that align with the game's aesthetic and gameplay mechanics. Through iterative testing and feedback, I refined the design to achieve a polished final product that captivates and engages users.

World Map

I meticulously crafted a stunning 2D map, showcasing my keen eye for detail. The map's intricate design features vibrant colors, dynamic landscapes, and meticulously drawn elements that bring the game world to life.
