Tom C Williams

I forgot to do an intro post! I'm a little all over the place but primarily I'm a Principle UI/UX Designer & Art Director, more recently moved full time with my team on our, for a little while longer, NDA project. A few of the things I've done that aren't under an NDA, some old, one new :x 👋

A HUGE Game UI Database update is looming on the horizon, which comes with an 'avalanche' of new features. Some game-changing, some completely pointless. Here's a pointless game-changer:

I'm looking for work! • 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝘆 looking for long-term contract; • Experience with Environment, Characters, Animation and UI; • Experience as Lead/Art Director; • Great at working with a team; Created all the art of Orange Season and Farming Camp. Portfolio below!

From a database to a full-fledged bible! ✨🕺 We've collabed with @eddcoates.bsky.social on the Game UI Bible, a 500+ page hardback adventure through the UI/UX of loads of your favourite games 🎮 Let us entice you with a limited signed bookplate by Edd himself and more below 🔗👇

We've something special coming on the 23rd July at 6pm BST that we think you're gonna be fascinated by! Here's a little hint; we've enlisted the talents of @eddcoates.bsky.social and @dougjohnmiller.bsky.social to help make it happen 🖌️ What oh what could it be...?

Super excited the share something that's no longer NDA! I had the honour of designing the branding and UI for Descenders Next, sequel to the badass Descenders, Had a ton of fun working on this with the incredibly awesome team Rage Squid, very proud of what we created together 🤘

🚨rare opportunity🚨 we now have some slots to offer self-publishing support for sick indie games (due to some delays for our games)!! we worked on games like CloverPit, Sledding Game, Carcass Clad, Vampire Survivors, Thronefall, Slots & Daggers etc info how we work below

Let's put together the Home Office🗄️ #cozygame #godotengine #gaming

If an engine was to come along, that had the intention of rivaling Unity, would you as a developer make the switch, and what would you want to see in order to do so? Or does Godot fill that role already? #indiedev #gamedev

there was a time I was toying with a comic made in Blender

Grinning like a proud dad today at New Game Plus! Piece By Piece was chosen by Ustwo Games to be showcased alongside three other titles. Seeing our game next to Monument Valley is WILD.

We're at New Games Plus all day today @gameslondon.bsky.social!

We had this sent in by an awesome couple playing both of the Piece By Pieces, I know people play the game but seeing people enjoy our game will never not feel incredible 😭

GAME GONE GOLD! Dosa Divas is past certification for Steam, Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox S/X and ready to launch on April 14th. ✨Wishlist Now!✨

I don't often do threads breaking down our game launches anymore, but the launch we just had for Piece by Piece was so weird and batshit We ended up with roughly x3 as many sales as we had hoped for, all due to a crazy naming coincidence

After launching Piece By Piece yesterday, we're #1 on New & Trending!! An absolute mix of excitement and chaos happening right now, and again thank you to everyone who's played the game, shared it and supported us through all this, really means a lot to our little squad!

If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful! We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam 🎉🎉 It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush 🔨🖌️🦊 store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

It's Piece By Piece launch day!! And yes, I may have cheekily added it to the Game UI Database 😶 Check out this beautifully cozy UI by @tomcw.bsky.social! www.gameuidatabase.com/gameData.php...

Our little indie game Piece By Piece popped up in Kinda Funny Games, we never in a million years thought our game would even appear in something like this! Between playing this on repeat, I want to thank @teeketch.art again who pushed this in their community! 🦊 #indiegames

Hey y'all our game has a demo up for Next Fest now too so you can check it out before release in a couple weeks! Spread the word and hopefully people like it so I can keep working lol store.steampowered.com/app/3468410/...

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered. Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙

Regardless of reasons for or against AI, I'm actually really tired of the word AI now, and it gives any product I see some tacky vibe to it now :/
