MENU SYSTEM
Concept Art, UI/UX Design
This is the main menu system for Pirate101. This is where players could see their equipment, spells, companions, ships, purchase new items, and learn new skills. One of the challenges of designing these screens was the addition of the 3D models showing the characters and ships. Due to a technical limitation of the game engine, the 2D UI assets were always displayed above the 3D scenes. So I designed the menu assets to have a hole cut out of the menu, allowing the 3D scene below to show through. Since there were many variations of the layout amongst the different menu pages, I devised a system of paper textures consisting of left and right sides. This allowed us to mix-and-match different elements based on the needs of the page while also keeping the texture size low.
