HUMANKIND - 2022

Cryptic Design collaborated with Amplitude Studios, and Aspyr Media providing essential user experience (UX) design services for the console versions of Humankind. Our team focused on reverse-engineering the PC SKU design systems and interaction models to create an intuitive and engaging console gaming experience. Through iterative prototyping and user testing, we optimized user interfaces, refined control schemes, and streamlined gameplay mechanics to deliver a highly polished and user-friendly gaming experience. Our contributions ensured that Humankind's console versions retained the depth and complexity of the original PC version while catering to the unique constraints and capabilities of console platforms.
