Nebula Studios: game studio website

Portfolio project
James Barnes
Nebula Studios is a website I designed and built for a modern game studio. Game studio sites have a tricky job. They need to feel as bold and immersive as the games themselves, but they also have to work for players, press and people looking for a job, who all come looking for different things.
For Nebula, I leaned into big key art, a dark palette and motion that adds energy without slowing anyone down. Underneath the visuals, every page has a clear job, so players can find the games, journalists can find the press kit and future hires can find open roles without digging.
Built with: React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Gemini API, React Router, Vite

Built around the games

The homepage leads with the studio's latest release, because the games are what people come for. From there it keeps the work front and centre all the way down, with each section building on the last. The page is designed as one continuous layout, so scrolling through it feels more like a trailer than a website.

The studio's story and values

Players follow studios as much as games. The studio page explains who Nebula is and what they care about, and introduces the team behind the work. It gives players a reason to stick around for the next release, and gives future hires a feel for the place before they apply.

A catalogue that invites exploring

Every game gets its own card led by its key art, so browsing the catalogue feels a bit like flipping through box art on a shelf. Each card opens into a details view with the story and platforms, so players can go from curious to interested without leaving the page.

A home for players, press and future hires

A studio site has more than one audience. The news page brings updates and announcements together, with the latest story given the most room, so there's a reason to come back between releases. The careers page puts open roles on the studio's own site, so the step from fan to applicant is a short one. And the press page gives journalists what they need in one place, so they can get to writing instead of waiting on an email reply. All three share the same bold style as the rest of the site.
Thanks for scrolling!
Nebula was a chance to push the visual side further than usual while keeping the site fast and easy to get around. I designed every page and built it myself, motion included, so the finished site matches the design exactly.
