OUR HISTORY

We supported Activision and Treyarch to create the next addition in the fan-favourite Black Ops franchise.

We designed the marketplace to be intuitive for players, while also increasing customer engagement, through clearer player comprehension, improved workflow and easier visualization of purchase methods.

Sprung Studios helped the Call of Duty team optimize their successful venture into the mobile gaming space.

We were called on to help Riot Games to get Valorant ready for launch in 2020.

We are thrilled that 2020 marks the 15th Anniversary of Sprung Studios. From humble beginnings in a small office in Brighton, we have transformed into a global company with over 50 employees serving the Games Industry. This is just the beginning…

We helped Infinity Ward to create the first F2P version of the Call of Duty Franchise on console and PC.

One of our areas of focus was the Home and Constellation View. We worked closely with Hardlight to investigate new ideas for how the player would navigate between these two areas.

Sprung Studios worked with Infinity Ward for over 6 months, helping them to refine the user experience of Modern Warfare prior to launch.

Vinyard Valley is another successful Jam City game. Sprung Studios came in to provide extensive support on remapping certain UX flows and revisiting some UI design on specific areas of the game.

The Player Module is an important area for players to see their progress and show off their level. Sprung Studios put a lot of effort into ensuring that this module reflected the status of the player.

Bioware partnered with Sprung Studios to provide extensive support for Anthem, which launched in 2019.

Our focus for the UX was to create an engaging menu system that surfaced user-generated content, as well as highlighting the stats and career progression of players.

The two main areas of the menu system that needed particular investigation were the Crafting Trees and Talent areas. We used vertical and horizontal flow and clearly defined menu elements to differentiate each area.

The flows formed a vital part of our initial analysis of the game. With so many complexities within the menu system and play experience, every possible scenario was carefully mapped and calculated.

For Fast and Furious Takedown, we created an interactive prototype with carousel menus, scrolling windows and transitions all included.

Id Software called upon Sprung Studios to help with their development of Quake Champions. As huge fans of the franchise, we were thrilled to be involved.

Sprung Studios worked extensively with EA Games and Lucasfilm to investigate how the Star Wars franchise could be faithfully represented through a complex mobile interface.

With completed wireframes and visual designs, Sprung organized the menu system using the Unreal engine. This enabled Psyops and Illfonic to seamlessly integrate the UMG widgets into their game engine.

Sprung Studios interactive prototypes were so successful with NetherRealm, the team used them for their own in-house testing.

Our bespoke Interactive Prototyping framework brought clarity to the mechanics unique to the game, while also showcasing the exciting celebratory elements that keep the energy and engagement high.

Sprung Studios were asked to bring their expertise from the original CSR to provide concepts on how the new game would look. We also worked on various new areas of the game.

Top Eleven was already a hugely successful game when Sprung Studios were asked to show what a ‘clan’ mechanism would look like. We developed the Associations feature and other social features for the game.

Sprung Studios were thrilled to take a franchise that was well known in Asian markets and provide a global UX/UI solution. We took into account key drivers around colour and complexity of information.

We took the existing game and refined the visual style to give it a modern feel as well as revisiting key UX flows to ensure a smooth player experience.

With Sprung Studios understanding of motivation based UX systems, we were able to create an attractive and convenient shop window for the Store, an indispensable feature of the game.

Sprung Studios were called in to consult on key areas of the crafting mechanic and other F2P features.

Sprung considered extending the longevity of the player’s engagement with the game at the start and built the decisions made for the UX/UI system with this in mind.

Sprung Studios was created by James Chaytor in 2005, initially focussed on providing solutions for clients such as Orange, Vodafone and Thomson Reuters on smartphones, tablets and smart TV. In 2009, we became the first UX/UI design external partner for the games industry and have never looked back…
