Designing New Online Casino Game
This was a major project that was supposed to set the direction for the new generation of casino games within my company. The stakeholders decided to start with designing a Speed Baccarat Game.
Timeline
6 months
Below I'm describing my contribution to the project as a part of the design team.
Benchmarking Competitors
I started by conducting a competitive analysis for Asian online casino providers (20 various websites that offer Live Dealer casino games) with a focus on the common UI elements.
Design System
Next step - creating style guidelines, designing game key UI components following the atomic design methodology, My focus was mainly on designing a new set of buttons, menu elements, multi table play, winning message. Additionally, in a collaboration with a visual designer, created GUI kits with new game components,
Prototyping
I took full responsibility for creating micro animations for the game: hover states and tooltips, chat behaviour, multi table play, an entire game round with various winning scenarios (all viewports).
High-Fidelity & Handoff
After everything was done in high fidelity, I took the responsibility of creating detailed storyboards for all viewports with all possible scenarios. I then single-handedly took care of the MVP version of the game, and prepared files for the smooth handoff to the dev team.
Months of dedicated work resulted in delivering a new game with refreshed interface and shining animations. You can see the fully animated prototype here.
