Tried something completely new for myself.
I built a game world.
It started as a small idea, but then I kept going deeper: world rules, game mechanics, characters, backstories, motivations, and the story behind everything.
I kept asking myself:
why does this world exist?
what drives these characters?
how does this actually work?
In the end, it turned into a whole game world.
And once that world was there, making a teaser for it didn’t feel that hard anymore.
It was really fun
What if the map wasn't a utility but the entire game world?
That was the core decision on SideQuest.
A location-based social app. But not the usual: no flat pins, no generic list views, no "events near you" cards buried in a feed.
The brief was real-world gamification. Playful. Spatial. But actually functional.
So I built a 3D isometric city as the home screen. Streets become quest zones. Every pin has a mission type: Challenge, Workout, Live, Events, or Player. Movement earns XP worth chasing.
One map. Infinite reasons to step outside. That's the whole app in one screen.
Five activity types. No boring filter tabs. All experiences live together: 5K Morning Run, Sunset Rooftop Meetup, and Live Now, each with XP rewards, coin drops, and real people going.
Sky-blue world, floating 3D buildings, animated pulse rings as intentional depth not decoration, core interaction design.
Would you have kept the map flat or built the whole world in 3D?
Excellent work. It's clear a lot of thought went into both the strategy and the visual execution.
Character design: Created original character designs and visual worldbuilding concepts for a fantasy narrative project, focusing on personality-driven design, atmospheric storytelling, and visual identity. The process involved developing character appearances, expressions, silhouettes, color palettes, and narrative symbolism to create distinct emotional and thematic depth. Each design was crafted to reflect the characters’ roles, internal conflicts, and the larger world they inhabit while maintaining a cohesive visual language inspired by fantasy, anime, and cinematic storytelling.
