Wuthering Waves - MacOS Launcher
What is Wuthering Waves?
Wuthering Waves is an exhilarating open-world action RPG from Kuro Games, where captivating storytelling intertwines with thrilling combat. Immerse yourself in the vast, enchanting world of Solaris-3, a post-apocalyptic landscape waiting to be explored.
No MacOS Launcher 🥲
Unfortunately, since Wuthering Waves is not available on macOS, I found myself having to play the game through an emulator. I realized that this was a similar situation to when I designed a launcher for Genshin Impact. So, I thought to myself, why not create a new launcher for Wuthering Waves?
Since the Windows game launcher was quite basic, I decided to design my own version. I began by creating a login screen for the launcher.
Motion was everything
In this game, everything is all about making precise moves and keeping up the momentum! I decided to use plugins like Jitter to create a smooth and fun intro-loading animation. This meant I had to design each element carefully and pick a typography style that really fits the vibe of the launcher. It was a great challenge!
The Challenge
The real challenge for me was figuring out, "How can I make this launcher even smoother?" I realized it’s all about diving into the little details—like the hover effects, the loading times, and the information I want to share with players. It’s a fun process!
All in all, it was such a fun experience crafting an elegant launcher for a game that's not only visually stunning but also tells an amazing story!
