Golden Tides (MOBA)
Island-scale PvX spaces for a multiplayer pirate MOBA — Psychedelic Games.

Behind the scenes
The game plays as an open world-esque MOBA where teams of four can explore and fight around the seas, land, and dungeons to find treasure.

The level design focus is to empower that player agency while dealing with that limitation. In addition, some of the level design is designed to give players multiple options to traverse the world and dungeons (optional enemy camps, e.g.).
