THE BIG SHAKE NEON
The Big Shake Neon emerged as an innovative AAA title within Eclipse's portfolio, a testament to our collective dedication to pushing the boundaries of gaming aesthetics. My specific responsibilities included the creation of the symbol set, the development of captivating 2D animations, and the design of an engaging UI that would seamlessly immerse players in the experience.
This project was not just another assignment; it was a canvas for me to explore an aesthetic that resonated deeply with my creative sensibilities – the electrifying and nostalgic world of the 80s. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of art and design from this iconic era, I embarked on a mission to pay homage to the past while infusing it with a modern twist.
My aim was not to merely replicate the 80s but to create a romanticized concept of 80s pop art, blending the essence of that era with a contemporary sensibility. The result was a visual masterpiece that transported players to a neon-soaked, retro-futuristic realm, evoking both nostalgia and excitement.
In achieving this, I not only contributed to The Big Shake Neon's success but also demonstrated the potential of Eclipse Gaming Systems to deliver gaming experiences that resonate with players on a profound level. This project represents not only a game but a triumph of creativity, innovation, and a profound appreciation for the artistry of a bygone era. It's a source of pride for me and a testament to Eclipse's commitment to excellence in the world of gaming.
