    uniE621 Custom Mobile App Game UI/UX Artwork/Programming: Backyard Boxers
    Backyard Boxers Game Development and Design: Project Overview: Backyard Boxers - "Backyard Boxers" is an adrenaline-fueled mobile game that immerses players in the gritty yet vibrant world of underground boxing. The premise is simple yet exhilarating: players challenge their friends to fierce brawls, navigating through various boxing arenas set in backyards, abandoned lots, and makeshift rings. The goal is to emerge victorious, climbing the ranks of the underground scene, while meticulously crafting character appearances and moves that showcase each boxer’s essence and approach to the sport. One of the key elements of the "Backyard Boxers" design was creating an intuitive and engaging user interface (UI) paired with an impactful user experience (UX). The design process started with a deep dive into the target audience: mobile gamers who thrive on competition, aesthetics, and smooth gameplay experiences. Main Menu Interface: The main menu exhibits bold, typographic choices alongside punchy graphics of dynamic fighters poised for combat. The layout ensures ease of navigation, encouraging users to jump into quick matches or progression modes. Eye-catching buttons, vibrant color palettes, and bold graphics deliver immediate visual communication, enhancing players’ expectations of action and excitement. Colors & Themes: The overall palette integrates striking contrasts—deep reds, blues, and grays mirrored against highlights of neon greens and yellows—to confer an underground feel. The use of textures—from the gritty asphalt to the lush green lawns—infuses a real-world-esque depth into the game, creating a familiar yet edgy vibrancy. My Role in the Project As a pivotal part of the "Backyard Boxers" development team, my responsibility encompassed updating client graphics to continually evolve the game’s artistic vision throughout production. I strategically collaborated with artists and developers for optimal consistency in the UI/UX design. More Project Information/Visuals: https://www.twine.net/signin…
