Joust Legend is a free to play action jousting game for mobile. I created UI design and UI art elements for both the front end and in game HUD. I defined the clean but ornate style decal elements that integrated with the clean, minimal UI.
HUD
The gameplay for Joust Legend involved mirroring the real world action of dropping the lance at the right time and maintaining its position without losing stamina and dropping it in order to target a particular position on the opponent. I kept the majority of the screen empty to clearly see and time your actions for when to drop the lance and made the secondary focus be on the target bar.
Launch Tutorial
The start of a round uses a similar timed bar ‘gold swing' mechanic for launching the horse so this used the same visual language as the lance drop UI. To tutorialise elements I created a themed suit of armour hand which animated to direct attention and also used black overlays with circle cutouts for instances where the player was required to interact with a certain element to progress.
Events
The events screen served as a game mode selection screen. The layout was intended to subtley reference house banners in shape that would be common at jousting events.
Pass Summary
As with the HUD, I maintained a clear left and right positioning to convey the versus competitive nature of jousting.
