Game Shell

Game Shell interface is newly designed to play the mini games in.
We felt it would be fun to make it look more retro and old school. Much like those 80's arcade machines.
The colour scheme is a little different. Much cooler than my usual warm and lava-felt colours. Just to give the players a little break from the warm virtual world. And also for the sense of being in another environment (even for a short period of time).
I'm happy with the simplicity of the design, which is always harder to achieve.

Splat - Final

After obsessing over every little detail for this multi-player game, it is finally finished. Kudos to our programmer who spent sleepless nights trying to make the right decisions to make me happy.
Here is the more improved game play scene of Splat (with some detailed clutter):

This is the shop interface where you buy more weapons to destroy your opponent with:

And where would we be without instructions? Nowhere! That's where.
For this splash design I really didn't want to fill it with text. So it is kindly animated for the viewers' convenience:


And the animation graphics! This brings back painful memories of working countless hours.
The old version (and plenty more hours spent) can be witnessed here
To explain briefly about the visual idea behind this game is humorous action. I personally only enjoy games that show a bit of sense of humour. So even with a good game, I wanted to make sure the graphics alone could entertain the audience.
Also, there's nothing wrong with making it look timeless since we're keeping in harmony with our steampunk theme.

Friends Interface

Among many interface designs I was asked to design, this one took me the longest.
Usually the concepts begin as we are still trying to figure out what we want, so it's a never easy task.

These couple of images are what I had in the beginning


And once I have basic designs laid out, we start to add more functions which need buttons/ and other visual elements.
And voila. Here's the final. The yellow circles are masks to where the avatar faces appear.

Leadership Board

Another interface design. This one was for the game players, and to glorify their top scores.
Leadership Board

Leadership Board - Stats pop up
Since the idea for the Leadership Board is somewhat to do with marketing, and raising the awareness of what's available on Dinosawus, the design needed to be bold, and exciting.
Both interface designs are strongly influenced by old-fashioned circus tent & atmosphere.

Home Menu

Ethan is our talented game developer/ web designer.
As he was busily updating our website, he urgently needed some buttons for our home menu. We both felt the all the website pages needed the look and feel of the virtual world. So here are some primitive buttons I designed (and keep using).
