Subway Surfers was an amazing production with a tight update schedule.

Leaving limited time for exploration and content development.

She wanted to increase output and give her team freedom to execute new ideas.

She created gameplay and character screenshots.

a Chronomancer with Creative Efficiency

She has a 6th sense when it comes to spotting repeating actions.

In an effort to free up time she implemented Unity Preset Guidelines and Photoshop Export Templates. This led to fewer feedback rounds and corrections required, while ensuring the quality and a consistent style of creatives.

Shorteing production by 1 week, allowing her team to explore concepts more extensively and pursue new content ideas.

creatives before and after implementation

The Unity preset guidelines and Photoshop export templates improved screenshot consistency, while allowing for easy replacement and repurposing of overlay assets.

Before - screenshots were often captured as a flat image in Unity, leaving less room for adjustments and feedback the scene had to respawn.

After - screenshots were captured as individual elements following the same capture settings, that way everything could be replaced interchangeably.
