Fable Fortune is a digital CCG (Collectable Card Game) based in the Fable universe. I was tasked with creating the UI layout and visuals while also communicating the Fable art style to an external development team.
The example below shows the first rough planning stages for the frontend menu. I was keen to utilise a 3D scene to greet players as it would allow us to establish a fitting atmosphere for the game, in a mysterious fortune tellers abode.
I created some 3D white boxes using Autodesk Maya to prototype my ideas along with some rough animations to help illustrate how to give some magic energy in to the cards! .
These tests were invaluable when communicating what I would like to achieve with both the internal and external development team. We went through a series of iterations and feedback sessions to create a very atmospheric frontend menu.
Sadly Lionhead Studios came to a close before I could finish my work on the project. This is how the frontend menu looked around that time (April 2016)…
The menu set the mood of a fortune tellers table top very well, I worked up the scene in Adobe Photoshop to create key art which was used in online marketing for the game.
