Project Overview

Mars Mining Facility is the primary battle arena in WARP: Warriors of the Red Planet — a 3v3 side-scrolling MOBA and action-shooter developed by Phosphor Games Studio for iOS and Android. The game's narrative centers on a conflict over precious and rare minerals discovered on Mars, pitting one faction determined to preserve the resources against another extracting them for Earth. Matches blend traditional lane-based MOBA mechanics — spawning bot minion waves, defensive towers, and base attacks — with fast-paced side-scrolling platformer combat, laser weaponry, sci-fi gear, and robotic companions like robot dogs. Sessions were designed for mobile play at around 10-15 minutes.

Role

As Environment Artist on the Mars Mining Facility for WARP, I contributed to look development, lighting, atmosphere, modeling and texturing, and set dressing across the arena's interior levels. My work focused on capturing the sterile, high-tech aesthetic of a research and extraction complex on the Martian surface while maintaining tight gameplay readability for competitive 3v3 mobile play.

Key Contributions

• Produced environment assets, architecture, props, and lighting for facility interior lanes and battle spaces
• Owned look development and atmosphere for research bays, containment areas, and extraction zones
• Optimized environments to hit iOS and Android mobile performance targets for real-time 3v3 multiplayer
