Dummy Pirates : Ocean Tales

Dummy Pirates: The Ocean Tales is a stylized MOBA game set on the pink planet Chromatica, where once-peaceful magical creatures known as Dummies are thrown into chaos after ancient ocean curses resurface. Each curse embodies a distinct power and temperament, shaping both the world and the ambitions of those who seek them.

The project explores themes of power, desire, and consequence through a vibrant pirate fantasy lens. As the Dummies form rival crews and set sail across cursed seas, six legendary pirate factions rise, each driven by a different motivation: power, wealth, fame, or understanding. Their journeys intertwine across the ocean, competing to uncover the truth behind the curses and claim the title of King of Dummies.

For Dummy Pirates: The Ocean Tales, I worked across game design, art direction, environment and UI design. I led the overall visual direction, defining the stylized aesthetic, color language, and thematic cohesion between characters, environments, and interface elements. My focus was on translating emotion into visual form, using exaggerated shapes, bold palettes, and playful yet ominous motifs to reflect the contrast between cuteness and chaos.

This project represents a fusion of world-building, gameplay intent, and visual storytelling, where art and design work together to give each pirate crew, curse, and ocean tale its own identity.
