Whooly Wars
Whooly wars is a free to play mobile game I Art-Directed during a Game Design & Development minor.
This game is about leading your own clan of little cavemen-furballs in a rebellion war against other tribes, to save and unite the land. It's aimed at children 8-14 years old, and meant to engage them in prehistorical (fantasy) topics in a playful way!
Synopsis:
'A hundred years ago, all the Whoolies lived in peace, but all of this quickly changed when the beloved king William III died. There wasn’t a new king lined up to lead them since king William III never had any children. The chaos quickly spread through Whoolyland and different leaders arose to lead their clans of Whoolies. All these leaders started leading their realms, to fight the remaining Whoolies of Whoolyland that didn’t want to join them. It is up to you to save the Whoolies of Whoolyland and to bring back the peace they used to live in.
Fight all the kings of the other realms and bring back Whoolyland to its original state'

Backgrounds
Arguably my best work in this whole project is found here: the backgrounds!
They were an absolute joy to make, and I treasure them very much.
Background for Level 1: Grasslands
Background for Level 2: Rainforest
Background for Level 3: Ice cave
Background for Level 4: Desert
The background for our last level; the Crystal Cave, was scrapped due to time-constraints, will be added in the future!
