About

Bladeborne is a sprawling open-world CO-OP RPG set in a lush medieval fantasy landscape. When they contacted me, they were looking for a designer who could help them improve the User Experience and the aesthetic appearance of the User Interface.

The team already had a flow of screens, but they needed to review the scenes already present in the game and improve the layout of the elements on the screen. The first step was to study and modify the UI layouts.

A new Art Style for the User Interface

The project was announced a few years ago and already has a small following. We asked the Discord community to help us choose a visual style for the Bladeborne UI, and these were the pillars to follow.
