The Machines Arena – Riccardo Galdieri

The Machines Arena is undoubtedly the best game I’ve worked on! A 4vs4 hero-based web3 arena shooter with a top camera, with a vibrant players’ base and an always-changing set of maps and game modes!

My involvement on the project started in summer 2023, when I was hired to become the “UI guy” at the company and have ownership of the entire UI system, from the visuals to the connection with the back-end, transforming the work of our incredibly talented UX designer from Figma files to dynamic in-game screens.

A screenshot from a video game showing a top-down view of a multiplayer battle arena. The game interface includes a mini-map in the top-left corner with points labeled 'A' and 'B.' At the top center, player icons represent both teams, labeled 'Assault' and 'Defend,' each with four players. A timer at the top center reads '3:39.' The bottom left displays a health bar (157/157), and the bottom center shows ability icons with cooldown timers. Characters are engaged in combat, with visual effects such as explosions and damage numbers (e.g., 77, 82, 6, 3, 4) indicating damage dealt.

The game has already been released on PC through the Epic Games store and Android through PatchKit. A PlayStation version and a Steam version are currently planned but no release date has been confirmed yet!
