The Game

Chimera CUSTOM XG is a fast paced, co-op game in a near-future, science-fiction setting. The tone of the game is bombastic and whimsical.

A successful user interface in Chimera C.U.S.T.O.M. XG should feel like operating a futuristic, snappy interface with elements of humor lightening the tone.


Mission

Revamp the existing interface in a couple months with little engineering support, and prepare for new pre and post-launch features.
  • Review current state of systems and implementations.
  • Define approach, considering time and resource budgets.
  • Establish loose design system rules.
  • Move quickly through existing flows adapting to design system.
  • Prioritize impact to assure a solid foundation, seek to add polish with time remaining.
