King’s Dreams
King’s dreams - Trollgames 2019
Introduction
Inspired by the life and legacy of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, King’s Dreams combines history, fantasy, and game design into a unique mobile experience. I played a key role in shaping the visual style, drawing on the grandeur of Bavarian castles and the mysticism surrounding the king’s story. The challenge was to create an atmosphere that felt both magical and authentic, captivating players while bringing King Ludwig’s dreams vividly to life.

From the start, I worked on defining a visual style that balanced history and accessibility—capturing the theme of kings and castles while keeping the experience simple and casual for mobile. Decorative elements were carefully paired with usability: fonts were playful yet highly legible, buttons carried golden outlines with light ornamental details, and icons remained clear and simple with subtle accents tying back to the royal theme.
This approach created a UI that felt both thematic and user-friendly, blending atmosphere and functionality to keep the game engaging and easy to navigate.
