Collectibles project inspired by the passion for football, both Brazilian and worldwide, that drives this sport. In football, just like in other sports, the desire to collect memories of moments,athletes, and competitions.


So... What is this exactly?


Basicly NTF(ew) Football Manager Card Mobile Game.

 This work goes back to 2021 when i used to be part of my first , gaming develop studio (campus.studio)
We got the amazing opportunity to develop a football game based on real players from the biggest teams in Brazil.

You can check out the project more indepht 

 We were a small design team that consisted of 3 people (me included) and here in brazil we all know how football its almost like a religion. 

For us was a big opportunity with a lot of money invested and time consumed, we got deep into the football world.

I learned alot in many different areas of design,3D, management and many softwares
Blender, Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, Rive, Trello, Slack, Github, After effects, Unity, Unreal... 



 IN GAME SCREENS

Team Building
Gameplay



We got a big contract with the biggest teams and many others so we could use the image rights for most of the players (Not even FIFA did that!)
     



Behind the scenes
We embarked on the task of establishing a pipeline to generate an infinite array of fictional characters as well.Recreating many different types of head/hair/eyes and whitin blender and using script magic it was developed many pipelines, here are some of the headaches we had to resolve, just to mention a few:

  • Mobile capacity and process power of 3d elements
  • Almost infinite number of randomized characters
  • Randomized names and different teams shields
  • Paralax inside the cards
  • Beautiful render in many different sizes and positions
  • Customization in the character 
  • Animation in most valuable cards
Some layering for the card we had to come up so it worked fine in a mobile game without losing performace


First version of the card and even the old Logo!
Mockup of a booster pack where you could acquire the footballers cards
One of the first 3d models for a concept art of the players, maybe you can recognize Di Maria...
One of the few homescreens we developed


THEN EVERYTHING CHANGED...


After a while we started working with a design studio - HARDCUORE

Developing together we came up with a hole new visual identity and learned how the project could evolve and grow prettier and smarter. 

Together we developed new logo, starting screens and album screens, character layouts...

This game has so much involved that its difficult to give a full breakdown

 We had album pages where you could collect the cards, Stats and special abilities for each card and player, different rarities, boosters from specific teams and rarities as well..  here is a big  scramble of images and videos that describes well some of the process  and a bit about the final look as well



We even were televised in one of the biggest stadiums in the world 

Maracana!


Big thanks to everyone involved, it was a very happy time !
