1.PROBLEM

The updated V Bucks screen required a clearer method to communicate the new currency tiers while adhering to the evolving UX direction. The existing layout struggled with several issues including a lacking hierarchy and inconsistent visual rhythm. The central challenge was a design and technical mismatch where the in engine implementation needed to achieve the level of premium polish found in the rest of the live product.

2.Role

Contributing to the redesign of the currency experience alongside UI UX and engineering teams Bruno acted as a bridge for the visual and technical implementation. He worked on shaping the visual logic of the currency tiers and refining the layout for player understanding while supporting the full pipeline. His role involved carrying the design through to final in engine execution helping to connect high fidelity visual concepts with a seamless and performant in game interface.

3.Solution

The resulting solution optimized communication and performance by tightening the layout for immediate player understanding. By rebuilding the visual hierarchy color structure and spacing a cleaner more readable flow was achieved. Bruno supported the redesign directly in Unreal helping to build material shaders smooth the animation timing and tune the interface. The final product delivered clearer tiered communication stronger polish and a consistent visual alignment with the established Fortnite design language.
