An interactive map of the Hyborian Age and an AI text adventure game for the official Conan the Barbarian website.
Working with Something Familiar, I helped build the new home for Conan the Barbarian on the web. With decades of stories to draw on, the goal was to give fans new ways to explore the Hyborian Age, rather than just another brochure site.
The centrepiece is an interactive map built with Leaflet, plotting the locations Conan has visited and the adventures he's had since he first appeared. Fans can pan, zoom and dig into each location, with content managed from the CMS so the map can keep growing as new stories are released.
I also worked with a prompt engineer and the team at Automatic.Chat to integrate the Tavern of Treachery, an AI-powered text adventure game. The whole site runs on WordPress using Bricks, a low-code builder, so I extended it with custom elements and integrations where the project needed more than it could do out of the box.
