Evolve UI - PC, PS4, XBOX1

Evolve is a 4v1 multiplayer game released 2014 by Turtle Rock Studios and 2K. The game is a hybrid of FPS gameplay (The Hunters) and 3rd person hack and slash (The Monster). All UI's where authored in Flash using Scaleform 3.9.
HUD for a hunter player. In Evolve, hunters worked in groups of 4. Team health is in the bottom left. Items in the bottom right. Player health is the middle left, jetpack fuel is middle right. Across the top of the screen is the monster's health and armor.
The monster's HUD, with the mini-map and current objective open (which is normally toggled off). The monster's armor and health appear in the top center, with four abilities underneath. Any active buffs appear in the top right corner.

Character select screen. There are over 20 characters in Evolve, so while character models idle on the left, a short montage shows off their abilities on the right. Players can also change skins prior to the start of each match. Lobby info appears along the bottom, including the name of other players and their role.
Medals awarded to ranked players, ranging from bronze to gold.
Mockups for an unused mobile app tied to the game.
Main menu layout. As players unlocked new characters, or DLC became available, a fullscreen video would highlight these characters here. The menu was meant to be clean and sparse to highlight these characters.
The "Evacuation" lobby. In this game mode players had five rounds to escape the planet Shear. The planet in the background becomes more damaged looking upon returning each time. Players could then vote on the next mission, which were affected by campaign effects, such as violent storms or agressive wildlife.
Campaign summary screen at the end of an Evacuation play through.
Multiplayer lobby. A post-round replay would run on the left side showing player movements and key events from the last match. Players can use a scrubber to speed up or slow down the action, or open a detailed battle log.
Tutorial missions available during the game's installation.
Unused logo concepts. This was before the name or the tone of the game was final. These logos where an experiment to help start a conversation about both.
