Muck Studios is a tiny company that my friend and I founded together, driven by our mission to create enjoyable games that motivate users to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Combining our love for video games and fitness, this endeavor has always been an exciting challenge to take on.
My role primarily revolves around overseeing the product design aspect, encompassing tasks related to game design, character creation, and story development. Here's a glimpse into our journey.
The first app we built was a fitness game called Fibu (Fitness Buddy), heavily inspired by pet games like Tamagotchi. The initial gameplay loop was quite simple:
Unfortunately, while we felt that our character was cute and the collectables were on the right track, we ultimately couldn’t make the core gameplay loop fun enough at the time. So we decided to shelve the app and change direction.
Our first release will be called Wrist Warriors. Inspired by NES era retro-JRPG’s, borrowing elements from titles like Pokemon and Final Fantasy.
You control three characters, and each party member is attuned to one of the three Apple Watch rings.
Close your rings each day to level up the corresponding member, and watch them automatically grow in power!
Scroll through what might be the tiniest RPG world made to date, using the Apple Watch’s digital crown and traverse various biomes.
Cycle through your party members via the digital crown. Assess opportunities to leverage your party's strengths and exploit your enemies' weaknesses to secure victory in every encounter!
Enemies you defeat can be collected as cards, featuring hand crafted pixel art following NES color palette rules. Collect them all to complete your codex!
