Tails and Triumphs is a current passion of project of mines that originally stemmed as the final project I designed to showcase for my university’s Visual Communication Senior Show. This project is the utilization of UI and UX design in the implementation of video games within the visual novel genre. To those unfamiliar with visual novels, it is a combination of visual, auditory, and interactive storytelling that incentivizes the player to participate in and ultimately change the given narrative through choice prompts, text, and buttons.

The deliverables are of a 10-minute sample of the video game prototype containing the main mechanics of the gameplay, a website prototype that allows users to give community feedback for the purpose of game development along with information about the game’s story and world, and advertising that spans across social media.
