Nogginville

Overview

Nogginville was a large-scale educational world and digital dollhouse experience created for Noggin. Players could customize characters, explore interactive locations, decorate spaces, and engage with educational mini-games designed to support early childhood learning. As Lead HTML5 Game Developer, I defined and implemented the technical architecture, built core gameplay systems, and led a team of developers throughout production. The project launched successfully as a mobile WebView experience, though its lifecycle was shortened after the shutdown of the Noggin platform.
