Mini-Games

Enigma consists of lessons covering the fundamentals of the English language, followed by mini-games that reinforce the lessons with interactive play. This play builds the student’s vocabulary and familiarity with reading, writing, and listening to English. All of this has the goal of building literacy within the student in a fun way, with a storyline and visuals more geared towards an adult audience.

Each minigame has a set of assets attached to it that fall within the “theme” of the level and character the player is interacting with. This creates a diegetic experience to keep the player engaged with the storyline of adventuring and exploring around the world, much like an Indiana Jones type of story. My task was to find themes that fit within each level, then create assets that reflect this but adhere to a set template for the mini-game itself.

I was also tasked with creating icons for the games that provide visuals for words that the player interacts with. This could range from distinguishing between homophones to traffic or health and safety signs that the player would encounter in their daily life.

Samples of all of these are shown below.

Backgrounds

Within each region of the game, the player goes through a set number of levels. once I was onboarded, we were working within the region of Peru. For Peru, there were 6 sections and 10 levels per section, there was a total of 60 background images created. Each level is a different location and the images were sourced from the public domain as well as licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic

Samples of the backgrounds I worked on, before and after are shown below.
