gloomhaven · Front End Menu

Designing the front end menu was a really fun experience as we had to find the quickest way of getting both new and recurring players from the menu to the game, without undermining the important options that must be taken into account when starting a new game.

As the front end menu also had to provide access to multiplayer options, tutorials, settings and other features, we used the panel-based interface from the world map to both compartmentalise each entry and keep an aesthetic consistency across the game.

Slow, panning shots of some of the dungeons you can encounter looped in the background establish an eerie feeling that sets the mood for the experience ahead.
