Hardball Games Outrage
A bold website that conveys the PUNCH for the addictive game where actions speak louder than words
Hardball Games, a Brighton-based studio, is known for creating world-beating games that bring audiences together. Their latest project, Outrage, is no exception - a hyper-competitive brawler with a bold visual identity and vibrant personality. When Hardball approached Grandad, they needed a website that could capture the game’s energy, build excitement, and drive wishlists ahead of its launch.
From the outset, the collaboration was full of creative potential. Hardball trusted our expertise and gave us the freedom to bring Outrage to life online. The goal was clear: to create a website that not only drove wishlists but also encouraged sign-ups to the game’s Discord and ignited interest among players pre-launch.
We began by stepping directly into the world of Outrage, playing an early beta version of the game to experience its fast-paced, high-energy gameplay firsthand. This immersion gave us a unique perspective, helping us design a website that felt like an extension of the game itself - a digital experience as vibrant and engaging as the action-packed brawler.
A pivotal moment came when the game’s visual style underwent an update, shifting from macho to disco. We adapted the website to match, using dynamic animations to echo the game’s motion and energy. Every detail was designed to transport visitors into the dazzling, high-octane world of Outrage, creating an experience that felt alive and punchy.
The results spoke for themselves. A third of users who visited the website wishlisted the game on Steam, meeting one of Hardball’s key goals and showcasing the power of our work. This success was the product of creativity, close collaboration with the client, and our team’s dedication to excellence.
With a bold design, punchy animations, and a website that radiates the game’s personality, Outrage has been set up for success. It’s a project that highlights the energy and innovation that Grandad brings to every collaboration - and one we’re proud to have been a part of.
