As a UI Technical Artist at Ubisoft Milan, I had the privilege of contributing to the development of "Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope", a 2022 action-adventure tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo Switch. This sequel to "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle" expands the crossover between Nintendo's Mario and Ubisoft's Rabbids franchises, introducing new characters and gameplay mechanics.

From the project's inception, I played a multifaceted role that extended beyond UI Tech Art. I developed tools and features for the Snowdrop engine, including a system for importing, managing, and animating vector graphics. This enhancement streamlined the integration of scalable assets, ensuring high-quality visuals across various screen resolutions.

During the pre-production phase, I actively engaged in research and development of gameplay features. Utilizing the Unity engine, I conducted rapid prototyping to test and refine new concepts, contributing to the game's innovative mechanics and enriched player experience.

"Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope" invites players on an epic journey through mysterious and ever-surprising planets, filled with fascinating inhabitants and compelling quests.

The game has been praised for its graphics, soundtrack, and improvements to the battle system, offering a fresh and engaging experience for both new and returning players.
