Sports Party
2017-2018 – Nintendo Switch – Magic Pockets for Ubisoft
My Roles
UI Team Lead
UI Art (Mockups)
UI Implementation
UX Design
Sports Party is a casual game developed by Magic Pockets for Ubisoft. The idea was to create a game similar as Wii Sports for the Nintendo Switch, using the motion sensor of the Joy-Cons (name of the Nintendo Switch Controllers).
The challenge as UX/UI designer was quite interesting, specially the hub where the players connect to a game.
The other big challenge I remember, was to explain to the players the movements and how they need to hold the Joy-Cons.
Working with a big client as Ubisoft taught me for the first time how to deal with vertical slices, very different types of milestones and deliverables, as my background before was more indie with smaller team.
Overall, the game was not great, but the UX part was pretty enjoyable. I really liked watching the playtest footages, where families of four where invited.
