About

The game development industry is rapidly evolving, with new games, jobs, and services emerging daily. However, it remains fragmented across various platforms, leaving a scattered and disconnected community. Nine66 aims to unify the game development industry by offering a comprehensive solution. It provides an ecosystem of end-to-end services, capturing both supply and demand, and a platform for developers to share their work and connect with peers.

Onboarding

The goal of the onboarding was to make the process of creating an account as smooth as possible, whilst gathering important information about the user in order to suggest relevant content throughout the platform.

//
activity feed

The activity feed is a central place where users can find the content from all platform sections. The feed lets the user view the content in the following, popular, or my activity tab. I suggested having an activity tab as we descoped in-platform notifications. Hence, the user has a central place with all his/hers activities like comments, likes, or posts to keep track of recent activity, since we only have email notifications in the MVP. Four types of content will be present in the feed – questions, posts, showcases, and promoted content like courses or ads.

//
Finding inspiration

Showcase is a place where people can find all the showcases present on the platform. They can filter by an extensive tagging system which is used to manage content throughout the site.

//
User’s profile

The User's Profile is one of the essential sections on the platform as we hope that in future releases, it could substitute a traditional portfolio website.

//
workspace

The purpose of the workspace is to be an interactive space where users can advance their projects. Users could work as individuals, collaborate with teams, or whoever they want to invite to their workspace. The workspace could contain a range of interactive templates that they could apply to outline their business. Templates could range from strategy to business model, to pitch deck to game design document.

Afterthoughts

NINE66 was my first project with such a large team and also a first project where I had a chance to lead multiple designers. I was fortunate to get this opportunity as I feel like this platform will help game developers improve their prospects and chances to succeed in the gaming industry.

testimonial
“Daniil is a diamond in the rough in the field of design. There is no comfort zone he needs to step out of as his flexibility, efficiency and rapid, creative solutions make short work of any obstacle. All this is rooted by a deeper understanding of each design's purpose coupled with his acute aesthetic senses. The world would be a more beautiful place if more designers were of his caliber.”
