Outcome
The visual system shipped and supported an active closed beta with stream-facing gameplay.
1,000+
Peak Concurrent Viewers
Reached over 1,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch during peak gameplay sessions.
30+
Streamers in Closed Beta
Played by 30+ streamers simultaneously during the closed beta, stress-testing the live gameplay systems.
Cohesive UI/UX direction
Unified pixel gameplay with character-driven key art, implemented directly in Unity to accelerate development.
Built for live audiences
Designed for Twitch partners and affiliates, enabling real-time audience participation through chat-driven gameplay.
Visual Direction
I combined pixel gameplay art with painted UI surfaces so the game felt cohesive on stream, in menus, and in-browser.
UI System
I built the component library around stream readability, not just full-resolution mockups.
Twitch Interaction
The stream-facing screens kept branding present without overwhelming the gameplay behind them.
