Last week we felt the need for a little rest for the salesman hat. Had a look at Captain Tsubasa - Edit Character and it looked like a fun little challenge.

Video covers layout, rig and intro animation, maybe we will make another one covering, interactivity, navigation, etc. Enjoy :)

Taming complexity: Semantic Controls in game settings After many years of experience with UX/UI development in video games, we fathomed that the Settings menu is consistently one of the areas that gets unnecessarily complex. Most games require roughly th...

Game settings are often a messβ€”but they don’t have to be.

We built our Semantic Controls to let content & UX/UI live independently. Designers get clarity, devs get peace, and debug views come for free.

See how simplicity wins, even in complex use cases.

I'm pleased to announce that the Game UI Database Summer Update will launch next week!!
This will come with a ton of much-requested QOL fixes, and new features such as a revamped Colour Filter tool with the ability to filter by harmonies, as well as wider searches for warm and cool hues.
Stay tuned!

Videos and captures may fall short to communicate the feel of the user interface.
That is why we implemented all the samples to be playable directly on the website.
They work with both gamepad, mouse and keyboard. Check them out on brushbolt.com

Greetings as Brushbolt. We are a gamedev studio focused on streamlining UX and UI development.
Core topics of user communication, often underestimated and at the same time more complex that it seems.
Follow us if you are interested into UX and UI about video games :)
