Home Experience
About the Feature
Home Experience Feature is the player's own space, where they can do a bunch of activities. These included selecting a theme for their space, Inviting friends, playing games, and watching movies together. The feature had a bunch of ambitious features which I had also brainstormed upon but unreleased.
Platform: Mobile/ Hike Messaging App
What I worked On
Conceptualization:
-
I was a part of the initial home experience brainstorming phase, where the players were given theme choices to choose from.
-
Came up with a variety of themes that would engage a larger target audience. The concept artist did amazing work on the art, here are some rooms:
Team Coordination:
-
I coordinated with the programmers for building and implementing the house experience features, such as the Theme selection UI, watching TV function, changing the house name, Inviting Friends, Voice Chat, and Play Ludo (icon function).
House Expansion & Activities:
-
The design team had an interesting feature of giving the players the freedom to expand and build their home space.
-
I worked on ideation for how to structure this feature in the app and what activities could the user be able to perform in the rooms.
-
I decided that the house expansion would be periodically unlocked after the user gains experience points (XP) /coins after performing activities. There would be multiple activities in one room. Here is how the plan went from block art to stylized art:
Activities:
-
Along with the house expansion, I worked on the list of activities that the user could do in the house (alone and with friends), such as karaoke in the music room, yoga, gardening, playing games in the game room, etc.
-
The games had a currency system that would allow players to purchase items or space.
