Pudgy World
Multiplayer virtual world for Pudgy Penguins on zkSync Era
The web experience for one of the biggest consumer web3 brands ($400M+ in lifetime sales). I led the frontend and made about 46% of the project's commits in a team of 10 to 20: the UI and animation system from scratch, the flow from the igloo into the mini-games, and the Three.js penguin scene with live character customization. When Pudgy Toys launched in 2,000 Walmart stores, each toy's QR birth certificate onboarded buyers into this world to claim their Forever Pudgy traits.
Pudgy World has since been rebuilt by the brand; these screens are the 2023 experience.
What I built
- Entire frontend UI and animation system built from scratch in SvelteKit.
- Three.js penguin scene where the character, outfits and traits change live in-scene.
- Menu and world flow from the igloo landing into the Pudgy Arcade mini-games, including the chess matchmaking lobby.
- Trait-box claim flow and verification pages that connected physical toys to on-chain traits.
