Poker Rocks
Project Overview
The creation of a poker room in the style of glam-rock featuring a vivid and impactful design.
Task
To conceptualize the visual style of the game, create UX/UI, and make all in-game content from items to sounds.
Analysis
An analysis of other poker rooms was conducted to identify unique features for the game's future visual style. Concurrently, the technical specifications and game backlog were developed.
Research
At this stage, we worked out the visual part in more detail. We adjusted the color scheme and font part, and developed the style of game items. We also developed the main controls and their behavior. All this helped us give the game a unique appearance and gaming experience, which distinguished it from other games of the genre.
Color
Inspiration for the color palette came from the band Steel Panther, perfectly conveying the intended atmosphere.
Logo
An eclectic and atmospheric logo was developed, seamlessly blending the vibes of both poker and glam-rock. The logo evokes emotions of brightness, uniqueness, and festivity.
UI Kit
A basic UI kit with essential control elements was developed, ensuring ease of use and rapid implementation of new features.
Advantages of the Style:
1. Brightness and uniqueness.
2. Spirit of competitive play.
3. Ease of interaction.
4. Simplicity and logical UX.
Game Lobby
A UX design was created to provide a deep gaming experience, different from standard poker rooms. The design is based on the principle of user interaction with portable consoles, with main controls positioned at the edges of the screen, allowing for one-tap to essential operations.
Game Room
The room's screen is divided into two parts: the central game space and a bottom control panel. The gameplay and interactions between players are displayed at the table. The control panel provides the player with access to primary actions and the game chat.
A visual style for game items that matched the game's spirit was implemented. Seventy items were created, including gifts, achievements, rewards, and more.
