Tong Hua: Adventures in the Middle Kingdom

Role:

Co-Lead

Design - Production - Programming

Tong Hua is an edutainment PC game that teaches the Chinese language through puzzles. As the author of a child’s storybook, you break down and recombine Chinese characters to magically transform words into a vibrant storybook world full of living characters. Your mouse clicks create the world while you explore the true meaning behind characters to gain an introductory understanding of the Chinese language.

For this project I organized and led a group of 16 composers, artists, and fellow designers over the course of 3 months, as well as designing, programming, and playtesting the core mechanics, storyline and puzzles of the game.
