What is this game?
During the summer after my UC Berkeley junior year, my friend Harley and I decided to work together to produce an indie game, combining our love for matcha lattes and late-night gaming. As Harley took on the logistics of coding the game in Unity, I took on the creative aspects of deciding the art-style and design of our game.

Research
What published games can we reference in regards to similar game style and player experience? Differences between mobile and desktop games?
Understanding the Player Flow
If you are a frequent at-home matcha barista, the steps of our game should be very familiar as they mimic the steps of making a matcha latte at home!
Low-Fi Game Mockup
After agreeing on making our game first available on desktop, I created a low-fi design of the main screen the player will interact with when making drink orders.
Design System
To create a playful and cozy environment for our matcha game, this is the design system I settled on!
Color Palette
Typography
In-Game Sprites
Mid-Fi Game Mockup
Finalizing on a general color scheme and the placements of all of the necessary sprites on the screen.
Hi-Fi Game Mockup
At this stage, we finalized the overall look and style of the game. Although the project is still ongoing alongside our Fall 2025 Senior Semester, Harley and I plan to continue slowly developing our game further!
