Five shipped screens from the live game — showing the core match experience, gear collection, and progression flows.
App
Characters & Gear System
The gear system separates cosmetics into four item categories, each with distinct silhouettes and ability types — giving players meaningful choices that affect both look and play style.
Gear
Each character is built on a 4-part gear system — hair accessory, outfit, shoes, and racket — where every piece carries a unique ability that affects gameplay. Collaborated with concept artists and 3D artists to define and produce the full roster.
Characters
Environment Design
Worked with a 2D artist to reskin courts based on creative direction — providing written and visual feedback to define mood, detail level, and game-feel targets for each arena.
Art Direction
Worked with a tech artist to build each level using a shared court template — implementing built-in shaders for animated signage and backgrounds while managing screen budget.
Environment
In-game capture of Brontokyo alongside the Unity editor view — showing the environment from concept through to the shipped arena.
In-Game
UI & Progression
The reward chest went from 2D concept to a rigged 3D model — first prototyped as an After Effects animation mockup, then implemented in Unity with an engineer to produce the final in-game experience.
Rewards
In-game capture of gear swapping.
Animated mockup with After Effects of new Event feature.
Animated mockup with After Effects of rewards flow.
Worked with a UI designer to bring Figma assets into Unity — animating UI buttons and transitions directly in Unity Timeline, then implementing the event progression and boss unlock flow with engineering.
UI
VFX & Shaders
Worked directly with a tech artist to define VFX types for each gear ability — effects applied per character, per body part, or across the entire court environment, tied to the gear system's ability logic.

Trailer
Directed and produced in collaboration with an outsourcer — showcasing each character's unique gear abilities and the world of Super Champs Tennis.
