In the initial concept development of the User Interface, I worked with Game Designers and Tech leads to problem solve around the first working tagline, Shred the Planet.
Harnessing the innovation of NASA satellite technology, the notion of spinning the planet and dropping in from the outer atmosphere proved exciting.
Developing pre-visualization prototypes, we delved into transitions and timing to keep the adrenaline racing as players roamed from peak to peak in search of the nine deadly game descents.
Skinning the generated terrain with region-specific graphics gave the gaming interface a truly global, immersive feel.
