Starplayers (2023)

Synopsis #

An odd sort of stars have appeared in the vast emptiness of space. They follow the sound of music and fall to its beat. Your job is to capture them.

Write-up #

This project was made for a course about design documentation and storyboarding. The idea was to create a rhythm game for mobile platforms that revolved around one hand gameplay, in order to capture a casual audience while keeping more dedicated players happy, mostly inspired by Guitar Hero’s popularity in the early 2000s and with dedicated players to this very day. As a result, I ended up sketching out the UI and design for the game, as well as creating a full design document which can be found here (in portuguese). Below is a short proof of concept along with sketches on paper and small prototypes of those sketches made in Illustrator.
