Logo I designed for the game. There is space above the word solitaire, on the plate, for a brand title. In this mock up it was removed as the name was discussed.

Early mock up for the homescreen.

The core UI I designed for the game, including a tip callout.

I did a lot of work balancing the size of the cards, weighing gameplay needs and readability on device for a older user demographic.

Exploration for popup design.

Onboarding UI design, an early version.

UI Variations for the gamescene.

Card design and card back designs.

For a companion character (before we settled on the owl) I explored a ghost cat that lives in a book.

Leveraging the background I made for a block game to upsell the haunted house theme and ghost cat!

I tested a lot of owls! Lots and lots of Owls! Detective owl was a front runner.

I explored more teenager owls, cuter, added a scarf giving me a hint of Harry Potter / Hogwarts.

The final design of the owl.

My explorations for UI for host interactions.

A different style for host interactions.

An important part of my art direction involved exploring the balance between painted artwork style and photo real backgrounds.

For the games chest I designed a travel trunk which could potentially have customizable or unlockable stickers linked with progress.

Open version of the travel trunk chest.

A mockup of the reward sequence when you open chest and goodies fly out.

Backgrounds were unlocked from the chest like a poster, rolling open.

Different backgrounds themed around aspirational travel, relaxation and holiday, were developed.

Car d backs would also change to match the background.

UI exploration for a book that keeps track of words you've found.

A quick blender 3D render to get some coins for a store mockup.
