Publisher's Review
Game UI? Aren't all UIs the same?
We encounter a variety of interfaces, including websites, smartphone applications, kiosks, and navigation systems.
What's the difference between the UI found in services and products and the UI of games? Games are entertainment.
Unlike the purpose of conveying information, selling products, and providing convenience, games are often enjoyed for their own sake.
Therefore, the game UI must be designed to immerse players in the game world or provide a sense of pleasure while completing missions.
This is something that should only be considered when designing game UI.
“When I actually implemented it, it was different from what I had planned!”
“It takes too much time to fix and repeat tests!”
“It’s the final stage, but there’s no sense of unity!”
It's a common saying in the field. Even if UI designers pour all their skills and knowledge into it, they're bound to encounter obstacles.
Therefore, the "workflow" discussed in this book is crucial. Systematizing UI design tasks allows you to prevent problems in advance and respond more quickly to new ones. UI is particularly susceptible to external factors and often clashes with other departments.
Let's take a look at the overall game UI development workflow and learn design know-how.
★ Game UI Development Workflow
[Concept Decision] → [Prototyping] → [Visual Design] → [Implementation] → [Polishing + α]
* Concept Decision: Decide on project story, tone and manner, and UI rules.
* Prototyping: Understanding the overall game flow, planning, and determining detailed elements.
* Visual Design: Rough Design, Actual Design, Motion and Direction
* Implementation: data rules, creating implementation data, and testing behavior.
* Polishing + α: Full inspection, platform support, multilingual support, etc.
★ Target audience
* New UI designer
* Lead UI Designer
* Game UI planner
* Game UI Engineer
* Project Manager
