Working at Vile Monarch on the FloodLand game was unique for me because I had the opportunity to work in a large team dedicated solely to UI/UX. Having a UX specialist in the team, I could focus on a more artistic role. I was taking care of creating icons, illustrations or choosing the right decorations for windows, searching for an interesting style or composition. There was so much work with this complex project that despite the above I did not miss some UX challenges such as creating solutions and mechanics for a full-screen technology tree panel.

The second group of icons in the game are functional icons. The simple flat form ensures that these icons in any place and in any size will be readable.
An example of a law development tree. I created not only icons for this screen but also designed the whole appearance and mechanics of the tree. I also drew the background of this screen. So this is an example of my versatility I am a UI artist but also a UX specialist.
The third group of icons in the game are the emblems of the tribes
