NBA All-World

You'll see very little content below, but the truth is this game's UI is completely driven by my own tools and custom code. I'm showcasing my tech art abilities here with the shot meter I developed. The meter visual designs are mine, but the style guide was provided by a design firm, so the graphics are simply based on those guidelines. I did however develop the look of VFX for the UI, as seen here in this shot meter. The UI Artists under me took direction from me on motion and VFX throughout the product, but I won't show their work here as my own. Overall All-World represents a major achievement for me, as it's the first product built with my tech and workflow but not by my hand.

Tech Art – Shot Meter

This is the final shot meter that shipped, after some rounds of internal feedback, including some VFX for a Perfect Shot:

Demonstrating the configurability of the shot meter with an early visual design:

The video below shows my work at the end of a couple days developing an API in C# for the shot meter. It's fully configurable via the Unity Inspector, which allows artists to play around with configurations and test visuals. It's also fully configurable by passing parameters into a public function, so that Game Design can push variations into the game to balance difficulty dynamically. I've found that developing my own API has turned out to be quite valuable to UI Engineers and Game Designers, and I'm surprised that in all cases my code has shipped without much refactoring by more senior programmers.
