Rethinking the Start

Diegetic Debris Menu Rethinking the Start Menu A Start Menu is one of the most conventional pieces of game UI. It works, it's familiar, and it's usually designed to get out of the player's way. For this UI Forge study, I wanted to challenge that assumption. Unreal Engine has some incredibly powerful features that are usually associated with gameplay, environments, VFX, or cinematics. Chaos Destruction is one of them. Destruction is visually exciting and, for some reason, watching things break apart is incredibly satisfying. So I started with a simple question: What happens if I take one of Unreal's coolest features and push it outside of its usual context, into UI? That led to the Diegetic Debris Menu. Instead of displaying menu text as a conventional overlay, the menu exists physically in the game world. Each option is represented by a pile of fractured debris. When selected, the debris rebuilds into a readable word. Navigate away and it collapses back into debris. The goal wasn't simply to make a menu look different. I wanted to create a different experience from interacting with a familiar piece of UI.

Cover image for This project recreates a modern

This project recreates a modern metaball page indicator for Unreal Engine, where the active dot smoothly blends and separates as it moves between pages. It's a simple but elegant effect that works great for carousels, onboarding screens, and menus. Features - Supports 1–10 pages - Adjustable dot size - Adjustable spacing between dots - Smooth metaball animation - Built entirely with Blueprints and a UI Material Included - Unreal Engine 5.4 project - UI Material - Widget Blueprint with the complete functionality - Example widget ready to explore and customize Files available in Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/cw/DaniMarti). If there's an interface from a game, app, or website you'd like to see recreated in Unreal Engine, leave a suggestion in the comments!

This study

Days Gone Navigation Study This study explores the menu navigation from Days Gone, not as a one-to-one recreation, but as a design and engineering study. The objective was to understand both the visual language and the technical implementation behind the interface, then rebuild it inside Unreal Engine using original assets, modular Blueprints, and reusable systems. Rather than reproducing the original assets, every visual element was recreated using original artwork and freely available resources while preserving the overall atmosphere, composition, and motion language.

Cover image for 🕹️ What happens when a

🕹️ What happens when a software engineer misses the strange, experimental magic of the Nintendo 64 and original PlayStation era? Apparently, he builds an entirely new game console. Meet Nova64: a JavaScript-powered 3D fantasy console inspired by chunky polygons, mysterious cartridges, CRT glow, demoscene creativity, and the wonderfully weird software of the late ’90s. I designed and engineered Nova64 as an open platform where developers can create a game cartridge in JavaScript and launch it instantly—no actual plastic cartridge blowing required. 😄 Underneath the playful exterior is some seriously fun engineering: 🎮 A shared game-development API across Three.js, Babylon.js, and Godot 🧠 JavaScript running natively through an embedded QuickJS engine 🕹️ A custom RetroArch core for playing Nova64 cartridges alongside classic systems 🛠️ A browser-based studio with Monaco, hot reloading, and developer tools 🌎 3D graphics, physics, particles, shaders, audio, controllers, voxel worlds, and WebXR 💾 More than 70 playable demos and experimental cartridges 🖥️ A Mac OS 9-inspired desktop—because modern software could use more personality Nova64 isn’t an N64 emulator, and it isn’t pretending to be a historical machine. It’s a new creative platform built around a question I couldn’t resist exploring: What if the next fantasy console used JavaScript cartridges? This project brings together nearly everything I love building: games, graphics, creative tooling, native integration, web technology, nostalgic interfaces, and slightly unreasonable ideas that somehow become real products. I’m not selling Nova64 as a Contra service. I’m sharing it because it demonstrates what’s possible when creative direction and deep engineering live in the same project. If your idea sounds ambitious, interactive, technically unusual—or just a little bit weird—I’d probably love to hear about it. 🚀 Explore Nova64: https://nova64.io (https://nova64.io)View my services: https://contra.com/brendon_smith_axke294z/services?r=brendon_smith_axke294z

There are 100,000+ museums worldwide. Exploring culture, history and art has become more about ticket sales and less about learning. Introducing Museum Envy. A website & mobile app that uses AI-powered data enrichment to help people discover museums and cultural sites using important, typically hard-to-find information like time to visit, kid-friendliness, free days, accessibility and more. There will also be Journeys and Passports. Offering playlists of museums enriched by history and art. Users can check-in, document and earn badges to share. It will be free to use with a $30/yr premium subscription offering enriched journeys, offline features, create-your-own journeys, smart planning & more! Revenue will also come from ads and museum partnerships. Early prototype (much to do!): https://museumenvy.com/version-test/
