I just recently had the opportunity of working with my colleagues at Timbuk2 Studios in developing UI and marketing graphics for one of Big Fish Games‘ popular games in their hidden object series, Mystery Case Files®: Dire Grove™. A while back, we helped develop some of the game’s environments and background paintings for the original release on the PC, however, Big Fish has just recently released the game for the iPad, which brings along with it some new content! Please visit their website to check out all of the great games they have! Here is some of the new work I helped develop for the game!
