Beyond Ynth
Client: FDG Entertainment

The Product:

Embark on an epic adventure that will take you beyond anything you have ever experienced before! This is the story of Kribl, a little bug on a big journey to bring light back to the Kingdom of Kriblonia. Help him to successfully traverse unexplored terrifying territories and find all the light-giving Dazzly Diamonds that were stolen by the Four Dark Spiders of the Apocalypse!

 

Responsibilities:

A much simpler previous game mechanic existed (see the original Ynth). My responsibility was to come up with a totally new identity for the sequel.

This included character designs and animations, artwork for scenery and in-game assets, interface and menu designs/layout, hand-drawn illustrations for the storybook, storybook authoring, contributing to the game concept as a whole, build-assets, sprites, icon design, logo design, and all graphics.

I liaised with the developers and passed final build-assets on to them for coding.
