Ashes of Creation Game Launcher
Client:
Intrepid Studios Inc.
Date:
December 2017
Key Technologies:
Electron, ReactJS, NodeJS, HTML5
Brief
Intrepid Studios required a desktop application that would manage the installation of the Ashes of Creation MMORPG desktop game. This game launcher would also provide news and access to in-game content for users to purchase and enhance their gameplay experience.
Process
We approached the design by building a dynamic launcher featuring a background video from a scene in the game, along with audio from its soundtrack. We used the Electron framework to reduce development time, enable cross-platform compatibility, and connect cleanly to the required backend APIs.
Result
A beautifully themed and maintainable desktop game launcher to support players in managing their installation and purchase of in-game cosmetics.
