Vanguard UI Elements & Video

Vanguard is a virtual reality, space-battle game in which the Roman empire never fell and instead became a space-age power. Players compete as ‘gladiators’, piloting their ship to fight rivals in hopes of becoming the victor and earning their freedom.

A tutorial introduction video I created, designed to be played at the beginning of the VR experience. Created in After Effects, I wanted to reinforce the idea that the player is a gladiator going into battle with little preparation and are being given a hectic, last-minute briefing.

UI Elements

An early beta version of the VR game Vanguard required some more in-theme ship HUD UI. As the approach of the game is essentially ‘space age Roman Empire’, I incorporated elements of traditional Roman patterns and vignettes, while keeping it in the classic sci-fi hologram style.
