Lost But With You

In this puzzle platformer I took care of the UI entirely by myself. The initial idea was to use only diegetic UI, to make the gaming experience more immersive. And so it was, until I was forced to insert non-diegetic UI for the initial tutorial.

As can be seen in the image below, circled in red is the tutorial prompt for grasping objects. While at the bottom I originally wanted to insert subtitles to better convey the narrative of the game, but later it was decided to cut the narrative a lot and keep it to a minimum. 

So at the end of the day, all that's left of the UI is the main menu and the pause menu. I kept them simple and easy to navigate, the only thing I dared a bit on was the controls page. Here I did not put the classic list with the list of controls, but rather a keyboard on the right linked to the list of actions that can be performed and each time the player selects an item the relevant button on the image on the right is illuminated.

Daemons Love & Carnage

For the second-year project, I was responsible for wireframing the entire UI. I did not produce the various components myself because we had a large department of concept artists producing all the 2D assets.

In short, the game is about a demon trapped in a sword that must possess civilians in order to perform its actions. So we had the idea of creating a sword-shaped life bar and finishing move to make the experience more immersive.

Remake of Comix Zone

As a personal end-of-year project, I decided to design a remake of the UI of the Comix Zone game in a mobile version.

These are the icons for the virtual controls and the character's life bar. For the actions the player can perform, I have tried to stay with a comic style while trying to render the idea of the action itself.

I have also given a hierarchy of importance using sizes. The attack, being the most used of these actions, is larger and in a more convenient position to reach.
