- My Role: UI designer & Gameplay programmer
- Work Summary: For this project I designed and programmed and did the art for the UI. Because the UI is the only way the player interacts with the game, my UI programming ended up becoming the gameplay programming. The systems programming for this project was done by one of the other programmers as they also designed the systems.
Serving the narrative through UI Design
You'll notice the UI for this game doesn't look very pretty, being rigid, monochrome squares. This is to serve the game's narrative of being the CEO of the soulless corporation that controls the city. The conrast between the UI's drab lifelessness and the city's neon, exciting color scheme serves to illustrate the divide between the corporation that runs this city and the people that live in it.
