UX/UI FOR GAMINg Case Study:

About this project:

This project was created during the 8-week UX/UI for gaming course at ELVTR. The purpose of this project was to create a case study of the already existing game Minecraft Dungeons and learn how to create UX/UI in the gaming industry through user experiences, player profiles, user stories, paper prototypes, flow charts, wireframes, and UI mockups.​ The goal of this project was to learn how to design various interface components specifically for games.

Paper Prototype to Flow Chart

Wireframe

Usability Test

  • After testing my game with two participants, I found that my wireframe was very clear to both users. Tester 1 was an intermediate gamer, with little to no knowledge of UX/UI. While tester 2 was also an intermediate gamer with knowledge of UX/UI and design. Both testers were very satisfied with the gaming experience in my wireframe and only had a few questions/concerns. A button missing to edit character, and an icon that can read a bit clearer. After gathering my feedback, I made these changes as I thought they would be helpful to my design.

  • Testers really took a liking to my inventory screen. I feel that inventories and item selections/statistics can be very confusing, especially to new players or even returning players who play RPGs. I tried to fix some of those problems that I would see myself having in similar games and tried to make the screen as clear as possible.

  • I took a lot of inspiration from other RPG games I have played in the past for the gameplay and inventory screen. As for the home screen, I took inspiration from online/multiplayer games.
