Cocoon

UI / UX

Company: Geometric Interactive

I designed the UI for the surreal, award-winning puzzle game Cocoon from Geometric Interactive.

Through the loading interface, which you can see below, you get a visual summary of the entire game. Complex worlds simplified into a single display. In the spirit of how the game itself unfolds, not everything is explained. You have to explore to make sense of it, and it becomes intuitive and logical.

Cocoon loading screen — The loading interface design. A circular navigation feels right for a game that to a large extent revolves around orbs and plays with circular time perception.

Some assorted UI elements for Cocoon — Assorted UI elements from around the menu. A mix of samples from the process and final designs. The silhouettes are stylized depictions of creature designs by the game's art director Erwin Kho.

Cocoon loading indicator sketches — Design process for a loading indicator.

Cocoon animated loading indicator — Animated ideation. Low-poly orbs have many potentials.
