Menu Design
I made the title animation on After effects, the rest was animated on unity.
​
The game is a series and were working on our first story and proof of concept.
Vignette Design
The story is abstracted as animals in a jungle, so I made a slow-moving vignette that ties the bar scenes and the mini-games.
​
Also made a popcorn game during bar scenes to keep audience engagement.

No fail states
