Mornin' in your Eyes - UI/UX and Background Art (2019)
Mornin' in your Eyes is a WebGL-based game developed at the Tesseract Center for Immersive Environments and Game Design to teach U.S. history at the University of Arkansas. Our game won Silver in the Education category at the 2021 International Serious Play Awards. I worked on several aspects of the game including its 2D backgrounds, interactable objects, and UI/UX design.
Start screen layout; assets were created so that any background could load with the title and effect.
View of the counter-top area of the coffee shop.
View of the front of the coffee shop.
View of the seating area of the coffee shop.
UI buttons, menus, and background sprites used in gameplay.
Animated background sprites used in gameplay. These would animate in response to the player mouse-over to indicate they can interact with these objects in the world.
