This was a Project done in collaboration with a friend while in our UI design studies.

What I was in charge of...

The Background

It took me a while before I could settle on a background. We knew we wanted to have a background that really used a vibrant mix of colors, and kept the bright essence of the island whilst having a dark atmosphere presented by the hostile environment in a post-war San Juan.

The protagonist

The protagonist of the game, a Vejigante, using the mythological creature, and after some drafts, we settled for a colorful Vejigante whose mask would work as the star in the Puerto Rican flag.

The UI

When it comes to UI, I had a lot of ups and downs, no concept truly sung to us, nothing told us "That's us" and we even tried using different elements to represent HP and energy. In the end I came up with a last minute Idea, where the health could be displayed by a 1-2-3 dominoes, and if you were hurt they would be flipped over. As for the weapon displays, it would be put on a traditional card game called "Briscas" and for the block for the UI, we used a playing table as reference. Only the things mentioned in here are things done by me.
