KRISTALA UI/UX
Overview
DARK FANTASY ACTION RPG…WITH CATS
Upcoming for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Steam
Developed in Unreal Engine. I was responsible for the UI/UX design and contributed to its implementation.
The UI/UX for Kristala were designed with accessibility and clarity in mind, even though the game incorporates numerous complex mechanics. The goal is to ensure the player can easily understand the game, regardless of the variety of features. The visual identity draws inspiration from three core themes: crystals, with their transparent, glass-like elements; cats, represented through sharp, angular shapes and lines; and magic, with delicate and subtle adornments in specific areas to evoke a sense of enchantment and mystery. This combination of elements enhances the aesthetic without overwhelming the player.
