Beast Brawlers
V2 Games, now Ludare Group Inc.
The Brief
Beast Brawlers is a real-time 4-player fantasy mobile multiplayer game where players collect and upgrade different mounts to do battle in an arena against other players. Developed by V2 Games out of Vancouver Canada this was one of the more exciting games that I had the pleasure to work on. The team was a small but very talented group and was truly a pleasure to work with.
Beast Brawlers was nominated for google plays 2017 indie game of the year finishing in the top 10. So far it has been well received with over 500,000 installs globally.
Challenges
One of my biggest challenges on this project was mid-way through the project the investors were very impressed with what we had created so far but felt it would appeal to a more hardcore audience, at the time it was more of a bubbly colourful game, so this challenge caused me to change my art style to go along with the new look we wanted to achieve causing me to evolve mid-project. This was a great opportunity for growth and a great learning experience.
My Role
On Beast Brawlers, I was essentially an artist but due to it only being an 8-man team I had the opportunity to wear many different hats that allowed me to explore many different areas of the game's development. Some of my responsibilities included creating 3D in-game assets, 2D assets, UI animations, planning the UI/UX, and developing particle effects for in-game battles.
