Leapfrog Academy - Mobile and PC Game
Throughout the time I've spent working under the company name Strawdog Studios (before adopting our current name - Tactile Games UK), I exclusively worked with Leapfrog to conceptualise, design and create mini-games for their Leapfrog Academy mobile and desktop application. Whilst working with them, we've created a vast array of educational mini-games for children aged 3-9 years old.
These games range from side scrolling games, to mini golf games. Being the only designer at Strawdog working on these particular games, I worked very closely with our technical director, and the producers at Leapfrog to make decisions on our design approach for them. I then documented the fundamentals of the game in design documents; from how educational elements were integrated into the mini games, to the IP's Leapfrog owned that would be used.
Character and IP Designs
During the later phases of development with Leapfrog, they asked for us to think of some cute, friendly and funny IP designs that were to be used as a focal point of the mini games we would be producing. So i went away and produced some sketches and concepts (unfortunately, due to policies the client wishes to uphold, i am unable to show any concept imagery). The character designs i'd put together, Leapfrog were keen to use. Which were eventually given the titles 'Bubble Buccaneers' and 'Candy Cavers' (pictured above - final art produced by an artist at Tactile Games UK).
