The World
The world of DeFi Quests is a vast, enchanted realm inspired by the grandeur of medieval Europe and the mystique of high fantasy. Picture a landscape dotted with towering castles, sprawling farmlands, and bustling market towns, all underpinned by the cutting-edge technology of blockchain. Drawing inspiration from classics like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, the game merges rich lore with the strategic depth of decentralized finance, offering players an immersive experience where every decision shapes the fate of their lands and fortunes.

I designed several of the backgrounds for the game. Here are some examples.
The Map
The world map of DeFi Quests is an intricately designed realm that draws inspiration from the expansive and detailed maps seen in games like Genshin Impact and other popular fantasy titles. This vibrant world is divided into various regions, each with its unique geography and lore, many of which are influenced by Filipino mythology, with names that evoke a sense of mysticism and cultural depth. Players can explore these regions through detailed maps, selecting lands to claim and cultivate as their own.
These maps, meticulously crafted using Inkarnate, bring the world to life with rich textures and imaginative landscapes, offering a dynamic and immersive environment for players to navigate and conquer.
The Garnet
The Garnet is the primary currency in DeFi Quests, symbolizing wealth and power within the game. This precious gemstone-inspired currency plays a crucial role in all transactions, from purchasing land to upgrading resources. The game's logo is also based on the Garnet, reflecting its importance and value within the game's economy. The deep red hue of the Garnet conveys a sense of rarity and significance, making it a coveted asset among players as they navigate the challenges of the medieval world.
Game Assets
The UI elements of DeFi Quests feature a grunge design inspired by medieval items like weathered scrolls, wooden panels, and metal emblems. This aesthetic enhances the game's immersive, historical feel, making every interaction part of the medieval adventure.

Animation
I created the animations for each character in the game using Spine. While I didn't draw the characters themselves, I brought them to life with dynamic animations that enhance their in-game presence.
