Herogrinder
Where cyberpunk
meets strategy
Herogrinder is a massively multiplayer turn-based role playing game, a child of an independent developer team of true cyberpunk enthusiasts. Our job was to create a website to showcase the game and it's also the monthly game contest hub.
Challenge
A website for Herogrinder must balance being user-friendly with a visually engaging experience that captures the distinct cyberpunk look. Organizing complex content, such as game modes and contests, into an understandable information architecture, translating the game's complex lore and atmosphere into cohesive design elements, and preserving consistent performance across multiple devices while producing high-quality visuals are some of the challenges.

Solution
Plunge headlong into a yet unexplored genre
The dystopian futuristic setting of cyberpunk was a completely new design territory for the team, and even though we had a prior knowledge in the ethos of cyberpunk through movies and its literature, we still had to dig deep under the surface and submerge in the lore.
Assemble the puzzle
Herogrinder goes beyond being a simple “grinder-game”, it has a well-thougth-out cyberpunk setting with multiple game modes, level editor and a bioroid generator with a monthly design contest. We had to assemble the pieces, carefully craft the information architecture and support it with matching typography and UI.
