The Otherworld is a top-down dungeon crawler game for Android systems, set in a mysterious realm based on the Otherworld of Celtic mythology. The player will take control of an acolyte who must find their way out of the Otherworld while fighting through the spirits of the Otherworld's forest.

The game focuses on simple controls. The player can move by tapping and holding their finger on the touch screen to move, and the acolyte will attack the closest enemy to them.

I worked as lead designer on The Otherworld. It was a rough development cycle, with faults in project management and team members leaving without contributing much, however we pulled through and published the game to Google Play.

My contributions were:

  • Establishing the game’s design

  • Environment art assets

  • Gathering feedback and playtest data

  • Communicating with the animation department
