Disney Enchanted Tales

Casual, Idle, City-builder (iOS, Android)

Disney Enchanted Tales is an idle, city-builder where players interact with popular Disney characters and build cities from Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Tangled, and more!

As a Game Design Intern, I was involved in the early stages of the game’s design up until its launch. I contributed to all areas of game design, collaborated with other departments, and put in extra effort to help bring the game to life while balancing my education. My internship was extended twice, and after reaching the one-year limit, my final day with Disney Interactive was also the day the game launched.
