Project: Personal UI Exploration
Category: UI/UX Design
Deliverables: Redesign Star Citizen Launcher
Date: Summer 2022
Description:
The Star Citizen Launcher is an application users interact with to launch and open the video game “Star Citizen”. The launch menu’s main features include a zone dedicated to listing the games available through the launcher to play, a communications – feed to view and interact with the latest news and updates and a friends menu to chat and connect with friends users may play the game with. The over all style of the game launcher is “futuristic” in design to match the theme and menus that are presented within the game world itself.
Process:
Unsatisfied with visual design of the launch menu for Cloud Imperium Games’ Star Citizen Launcher (aka RSI Launcher) version 1, an effort was made to change the look of the version 1 launcher to something more engaging. The version 1 launcher for Star Citizen felt a little text heavy and lacked features other modern day video game launchers have. The goal of this exploration was to give the Star Citizen Launcher a more visual appeal and bring it up to the standards of other modern game launchers.
