The Incredibles Supertown

One of the best things about working at Disney is having a chance to design with the company’s amazing IP. The Incredibles is one of my favorite animated films of all time, so it was a dream being asked to work on an Incredibles game!

The Concept

Build the ultimate undercover super base! Recruit supers, protect the world, earn money, and expand your headquarters! I was tasked with drafting up some quick, high-fidelity concepts to illustrate our game for the pitch.

Rapid Prototyping

Our team needed a quick proof-of-concept prototype, so we quickly conjured up various screens to get the idea out the door. To communicate that our prototype was not meant to be a final product, we built it in low-fidelity using mostly grayscale.

During this phase, I took on several responsibilities:

  • Designing temporary, cross-device UI
  • Implementing the interface in Unity 3D
  • Creating temporary in-game buildings
  • Generating maps with a proprietary in-house tool

Production

The game was green-lit for development, so develop we did. We were able to enjoy the production period for a short while. Eventually, company restructuring ate the project alive, and all we have left are dreams of a great game. It was fun while it lasted!
