CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

UI Design

I worked closely with our writers and programmers to develop the unique chat-sim user interactions within the game loop, this was a different project than previous ones, as a heavily chat-sim focused game. I began by creating some quick, sketchy wireframes for each scene based on a team brainstorming session, I then presented the initial wireframes to the team for feedback and made any changes that would improve our player's experience.

UI Art

I worked to create a variety of UI elements to fit a core "synthwave, but darker" theme for this chat-sim focused visual novel. Working alongside the programmers to implement these assets and elements as intended to the Ren'py project using python, and ensuring we had assets to support and enhance the player experience, such as an objective marker for in-game.

Style Guide

Typography & Colours

I also utilised the web colour contrast checker on each of our suggested colour pallets, ensuring that we met Level AAA for our text elements to ensure better accessibility.

Text (Small & Large)

1/5

Each element of text meets the AAA contrast for it's usecase, with large text above 24px being used for the buttons & small text being utilised through menus and in-game for elements like action buttons, text choices & tooltips, etc.
