Jade Order
During 2021 and 2022 I designed, developed and published ‘Jade Order’. I was responsible for designing and developing the game’s mechanics, systems and core rules. On the artistic side, I created all pixel art assets, including characters, backgrounds, animation sprites, visual FXs and UI. The UX focus was to make the game as approachable as possible to its target audience by having clean and defined elements on screen that could intuitively communicate with the player through its visual feedback.
