Days of Discord

Create an original sci-fi world from nothing and make it rich enough to fill 250 collectible cards. A dozen international illustrators would paint those cards, and the whole set still had to look like it came from one world.

Twenty years after a strange substance called Pandemonium falls from space, its genetic chaos has transformed every living thing it touched. Earth has split into warring factions: Heroes, Beasts, Bandits, Plants, and Ferals. Battles play out in real-time turn-based fights across settings that show what Pandemonium left behind.

I co-founded Muti Labs and hired its designers, artists, and engineers. I led the creative vision for the game, from the IP and worldbuilding through art, audio, and narrative, and I worked hands-on on the UX/UI and 3D asset integration in Unity.

• Built the IP. I developed the setting, the factions, and their visual language so every card read clearly as part of its faction and as part of one world.
  Add: faction style sheets or a world bible page
• Directed a distributed team of illustrators. I found and directed about a dozen international artists across 250 cards. Each card started with a creative brief, went through several sketches to set the look and pose, and then got two or three rounds of color and polish.
  Add: one card shown at each stage, with your notes
• Ran creative across disciplines. I brought in and directed outside partners for visual, audio, and narrative content.
• Designed the player experience. I created the UX/UI assets and integrated the 3D game assets in Unity.
  Add: UI screens and battle screenshots
• Launched it. Days of Discord shipped worldwide with the full set of 250 cards.
