What! Me UI?

Over the past year or so my Team Adorkable, a mixed team of DigiPen junior and senior artists, has been working on our game Bear Pile. Since our artists have graduated most of them haven't had much time to work on the game. However, the graphic user interface was still in desperate need of an update.

I had previously finished the art assets to make the vault door (viewable in my modeling portfolio) destructable in game. Now I moved on to the HUD, Paws Menu and Main Menu. Here's the current look of the Main Menu and the HUD with an open Paws Menu. In game the game world will be showing behind these icons. The Bear and Johnny's head are 2d art assets created by Talon Jennings that I wanted to keep in the UI.

If you are interested playing Bear Pile please come try it out. It will be at PAX at free play and an updated version will be available to play at the DigiPen booth. Of course our game is also available for free from DigiPen's website. We will continue to work on making this game better and preparing for competitions such as IGF and IGC.
