Overview

Wargames FX is designed to streamline the setup process for the tabletop game Warhammer 40k. By leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) technology, the app allows players to project a digital layout of their gaming table onto a physical surface. This innovative approach enables users to quickly and accurately place objectives and terrain based on their selected mission, significantly reducing the time and effort required for setup.

Functionality:

  • AR Projection: The app uses AR to overlay digital images of the tabletop game setup onto real-world surfaces.
  • Mission Selection: Users can choose from various missions, and the app will display the corresponding layout.
  • Quick Setup: Players can effortlessly position game elements, optimizing their gameplay experience

As the UI Artist for this project, I was responsible for transforming the app’s interface from basic Unity presets into a sleek and professional design. My contributions included:

  • Design Enhancement: Created a visually appealing and modern UI that aligns with the high-tech nature of AR technology.
  • User Experience: Ensured the interface was intuitive and user-friendly, facilitating a seamless interaction for players.
  • Wireframe Refinement: Worked from initial wireframe concepts provided by the client’s team, refining them to address usability concerns.
  • Screen Design: Developed high-fidelity UI screens, focusing on clarity and aesthetics to enhance user engagement.

Colors

Typography

For the Warhammer AR Setup App, I selected the Monkita Pursuit font, which perfectly captures the futuristic and immersive feel of augmented reality. This choice ensures that the typography complements the app’s high-tech theme and sleek visual style. Monkita Pursuit enhances the modern and engaging experience of the app while maintaining excellent readability and visual appeal, allowing users to easily navigate through the interface and focus on the gameplay.
