Mojo Shooter is a compact augmented reality (AR) game centered around a biohazard outbreak caused by a science experiment gone wrong. Players must stop virus-carrying mutant creatures—known as Mojos—from escaping their lab headquarters and releasing chaos into the world. With time running out and a powerful blue “boss” generating endless clones, it’s a race against infection.
This project gave me the opportunity to work across nearly all creative areas: from 3D modeling and texturing, to UI design, particle integration in Unity, and narrative collaboration with the producer. Because AR games require a clean and readable visual language, I worked closely with both the design and development teams to ensure clarity, minimalism, and immersion. I also storyboarded and created the game’s animated intro sequence to introduce players to the world and their mission in a short, punchy format.

Intro Sequence

This intro sequence is to let the player into a little bit of the background before immersing them into the gameplay. I made this sequence by first setting up each particular scene inside Autodesk 3DS Max and then rendering out the images. Then I added a few effects and color highlights inside photoshop and then created this short reel to give a quick overview before starting the game.

UI Visual Art Mockups

The static UI mockups below represent the interface I designed and illustrated for Mojo Shooter. Since AR overlays digital visuals on a real-world backdrop, I focused on semi-transparent elements, flat highlights, and bold shapes to ensure usability without visual clutter.

3D Models

I modeled and textured all the 3D assets featured in the game, from characters and environment props to key interactables. The assets were concepted from scratch and built with a stylized, slightly exaggerated look to suit the game’s energetic tone. Below are rendered samples of these assets in various stages of development.

Design Process And Decisions

Moodboard & Visual Direction:

Designing for AR posed interesting challenges—especially around visibility and interaction clarity. I pulled inspiration from mobile HUDs and sci-fi interfaces, landing on a hybrid look that mixes flat 2D UI shapes with soft-edged 3D elements. Most UI panels were partially transparent, allowing the physical space around the player to remain visible while still delivering core game info.

Typography:

Font : Cars
The font I chose for Mojo Shooter was Cars—a bold, playful typeface with a touch of cartoon energy. Given that the game isn’t text-heavy, I wanted something readable and expressive without needing much styling. It worked well for UI labels and titles, adding to the overall sense of urgency and fun.

Color Palette:

Blues from the Yohki Mo lab environment served as the primary color for the interface, anchoring the visuals with consistency. For contrast and feedback states (e.g. "Level Clear", "Game Over"), I used a mix of saturated secondary colors to give punch without overpowering the AR scene.
