Deliverables

Realm Rage, an ambitious multi-ethnic MMORTS video game project, approached me to create a compelling brand identity, mobile user interface prototype, and illustrative assets that would bring the world of Realm Rage to life.
The goal was to blend medieval inspirations with a modern visual sensibility while ensuring scalability and consistency across the user experience.

Project Overview

Realm Rage invites players to build empires, forge alliances, and engage in real-time battles across different regions of the world.
I was tasked with designing the core brand identity, illustrating the empire layout map, and developing the mobile application’s user interface — a comprehensive creative role that involved applying both technical and artistic skills.

My Approach

The project began with creating the logo, which draws inspiration from medieval shields, heraldic symbols, and global cultural motifs.
At the centre of the logo is a bull, symbolising the game itself — strength, resilience, and enduring conflict. Surrounding the bull are animals that represent each regional faction:

• Eagle — North America

• Kangaroo — Polynesia

• Tiger — Africa

• King Cobra — Panthalassa

• Dragon — Asia

• Horse — Arabia

• Lion — Europa

• Toucan — South America

Above the central shield, elements such as the moon, sun, fire, and ice were incorporated to symbolise natural forces and ongoing conflict — fundamental themes of Realm Rage.

For the visual style, I developed a medieval aesthetic blended with clean, modern UI principles to maintain both thematic immersion and usability across mobile devices.

I also illustrated the basic empire layout, beginning with a pencil sketch on paper following an isometric grid system.
This layout was then hand-drawn digitally using a graphics tablet in Adobe Photoshop at high resolution, ensuring clarity and detail even when players zoom into their empires during gameplay.

The User Interface (UI/UX) design focused on consistency, usability, and atmosphere — crafting intuitive menus, navigation flows, and on-screen controls that maintained the medieval-modern hybrid style throughout the mobile experience.

Results

Realm Rage now has a distinctive, high-quality brand identity and mobile UI prototype that set the foundation for the game’s continued development.

The combination of detailed illustration work, immersive branding, and consistent interface design ensures that the game’s world feels expansive, culturally rich, and engaging for future players.

This project was a personally rewarding experience, requiring the use of a diverse range of skills from branding and illustration to UI/UX design.
