KNOCKOUT CITY

UI Artist - PS, XBox, Switch, PC (2021)

Knockout City brought dodgeball into the streets and alleys of a retro-futuristic world, as a team-based brawl sport.

Velan worked on Knockout City for a number of years. In its pre-production, I contributed early UI style concepts - as it was close to complete I created the final look for the gameplay HUD; implemented the framing team UI before and after matches; created and animated player level-up UI moments; and developed the look for Chrome-level player banners and icons.

UI Overlays during a match's introductory cinematic, including animation of: framing, transitions, ball-type slot machine, and team/player nameplates.

UI Overlays during the concluding cinematics from a match, including animation of: framing, transitions, win/loss messaging, team/player nameplates, and MVP identification.

Design and animation for the player, in their post-match results, progressing up from one tier of ranked gameplay to another.

This video, of 2 gameplay modes, shows the look and functionality of the player HUD. This includes player and teammate/enemy health meters, match progress, and corner announcements of knockouts.

Special premium versions of standard icons, featuring carbon fiber backgrounds, shiny metallic forms, and deep red enamel accents

Photobashed concept for a giant parade balloon of game mascot Chonky, as a seasonal celebration.
