Neon Candles
A rhythm-based shooter utilizing 120Hz refresh rate rendering. The visual feedback loop synchronizes enemy spawn rates with neon bar heights.
Visual Development
Exploring the intersection of abstract aesthetics and game mechanics through Huipant's signature 'Candle' and 'Chart' visual language. This portfolio showcases our proprietary rendering techniques and shader experiments designed for the next generation of mobile gaming.
Candle & Chart Aesthetics
Filter our conceptual library by visual performance tags.
Pure Chart
Premium paid-only puzzle game. No ads, no trackers. The core mechanic involves predicting the trajectory of falling 'chart' nodes.
Void Lines
Visualizer engine testbed. We stress-tested the rendering pipeline by generating thousands of concurrent neon lines.
Velocity Node
Optimization milestone test. Achieved 90fps stability on mid-range devices using custom Vulkan drivers.
Red Market
Stock market simulator with gamified risk assessment. Features a candle-to-bar conversion engine for visual feedback.
Frame Lock
Diagnostic tool ported to a mini-game. Players maintain 60FPS by balancing shader complexity vs. draw calls.

CPU
>95%
Thread Stability
Achieved 95% thread utilization on 8-core mobile processors. The engine distributes physics calculations across background threads without stutter.
GPU
0.8ms
Render Latency
Median frame submission time of 0.8ms. This allows for complex particle effects to run in parallel with the main render pass.
MEM
Low
Footprint
Static memory allocation stays under 45MB for the base scene. Dynamic buffers are recycled efficiently.
IO
Async
Texture Stream
Asynchronous texture streaming pipeline. High-res assets load in the background without impacting input latency.
Huipant Field Guide
The Core Concept
Decision Criteria
- • Visibility: The data must be readable in peripheral vision. High contrast (Cyan/Black) is mandatory.
- • Abstraction: We avoid realistic representations. The chart is a metaphor, not a spreadsheet.
- • Feedback: Visual changes must happen instantly. Input lag destroys the 'Candle' immersion.
Myth vs. Fact
Myth: "This style only works for finance games."
Fact: We've successfully applied it to platformers and shooters. The key is mapping verticality to player agency, not just literal stock data.
Mini-Glossary
Candle: Vertical element denoting state magnitude.
Chart Node: Static reference points on the grid.
Neon Drift: A visual glitch effect used when high-precision rendering is failing.
Common Mistakes
- Over-cluttering the chart with too many moving lines.
- Using low-contrast colors (e.g., yellow on white) which breaks the aesthetic.
- Failing to sync the visual frame rate with the game logic update loop.
Development Workflow
1. Define Constraints
1. Define Constraints
Establish the target platform (iOS/Android) and FPS goals. We map out the 'Candle' hierarchy: which stats require real-time visualization versus delayed updates.
Select the rendering approach. For 120Hz devices, we use Vulkan. For 60Hz, OpenGL ES is sufficient. Validate assumptions by running a "Chart Stress Test" to see if visual lines remain distinct.
2. Approach & Validation
2. Approach & Validation
3. Apply Method
3. Apply Method
Build the shader pipeline. We map the 'Candle' height to a uniform variable and pass it to the fragment shader. The 'Chart' lines are drawn using instanced rendering for performance.
Review the visual output against the 4.5:1 contrast ratio requirement. Ensure that motion blur does not obscure the chart lines. Document the assets for the internal library.
4. Review & Document
4. Review & Document
When we started Huipant, the goal was simple: make data beautiful. We didn't want numbers on a screen; we wanted a living, breathing visual language. The 'Candle' concept emerged from late-night coding sessions where the only light came from monitor reflections on the desk. It represents volatility, energy, and the pulse of the game engine.
