The document discusses player pain points with the UI in The Witcher 3, focusing on explorers who make up 80% of players. It identifies issues like too many HUD options, unnecessary information like button commands and time of day, and a lack of item descriptions. The proposed redesign aims to improve immersion by reducing the HUD's obstruction of views, removing unnecessary information, and taking inspiration from Bloodborne's cleaner item UI to reduce screen clutter.

This 10 page game design document outlines a mobile and tablet game called "Whole Load'a Dough" aimed at children ages 4+. The player controls Pizzaman as he rescues pizza slices held hostage by enemies. Pizzaman gains new abilities after defeating each boss, helping in subsequent levels. The game has platforming elements but combat involves shooting objects at enemies and swinging from cheese strings. It takes place in environments themed after bosses like a snow level for the Iceburg Lettuce boss. Cutscenes advance the story in a comic book style between levels.Design Document

The document introduces the MDA framework, which is used to understand games from different perspectives. The MDA framework breaks games down into their core components - Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics. Mechanics refer to the formal rules and concepts that define the game. Dynamics describe the run-time behavior of the game as it is played. Aesthetics are the emotional responses evoked in players by the dynamics. The framework helps bridge gaps between design, development, criticism and research by providing a common vocabulary. It also helps designers understand how changes in one component can impact the others.Game design doc template

The document discusses user interfaces in video games. It makes three key points:
1. The interface is everything that allows a player to interact with and control the game, including both physical inputs like controllers as well as digital outputs like on-screen menus and HUD elements.
2. Good interface design requires consideration of usability, aesthetics, information architecture, and interaction design. Key usability goals are learnability, efficiency, preventing errors, and satisfaction.
3. There are generally two types of digital interfaces: general menus for navigating options when not actively playing, and in-game UIs for displaying key information during gameplay. Card sorting can help test and improve how information is organized within interfaces.More Related Content

Using only a webcam, a pen and a sheet of paper, players can design their own interface by drawing shapes and linking them to simple or complex actions in the game. In an user study, we use this extended Freepad to explore the potential of sketching interfaces in strategy video games. Our results indicate that using Freepad improves the efficiency of players and their enjoyment in this kind of games.ICS3211 lecture 12

Creating the Game Output Design discusses creating the visual design and deciding the output parameters for a game. It covers selecting 2D or 3D graphics and design components like bitmaps, sprites, textures and lighting. The document also discusses user interface layout, including diegetic/nondiegetic and spatial/meta components as well as common UI elements like menus, heads-up displays, and buttons. It emphasizes choosing output parameters based on the rendering engine, resolutions, and compression techniques used.Video games

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a first person shooter multiplayer game. The maps feature 3D, photorealistic terrain and some enterable buildings. Players can interact with guns, bodies, barrels, and other players. The game interface displays information like health, ammo, money, and the mini map. The art style aims for photorealism but uses cell shading to create a needed disconnect from reality given the violent gameplay. The competitive multiplayer focuses on skill, tactics, and teamwork without special abilities. It is considered a high skill game at high levels due to relying only on aim and communication.project

- The document describes an experiment that evaluated the performance and preferences of gamers and non-gamers using two different video game controller designs: a traditional fixed-hand gamepad controller and a free-handed controller where the hands can move independently.
- For gamers, there was no significant difference in performance between the two controllers. Gamers completed the tasks on average 49% faster than non-gamers and preferred the traditional controller.
- For non-gamers, performance improved by about 26% from the first to second controller used. About 3/4 of non-gamers preferred the free-handed controller.An Introduction To Game development

Intoduction To Game Development
This sesion will be covering some aspects of the theory and practice of game development and design .
- For those who are intersted in game development , This session will should be enough to get you started .josephHiggins_BenchmarkPortfolioDeck
- 1. Joseph Higgins ATEC 3352 Benchmark Portfolio Deck
- 2. Player Pain Points While the UI of the Witcher 3 is good, there are issues that players have encountered. Too many HUD options HUD controls not needed Lack of item descriptions Unneeded world interactions However the focus of my redesign will be focused on the HUD
- 3. Which Player types buy the Witcher 3? Explorers 80% Achievers 20%
- 4. Suffering Player Demographic: Explorers Disrupted Immersion Too many HUD features Unnecessary Text Poor HUD framing
- 5. What do explorers look for in a game? Drawn to discovery Enjoy the experience of the world story Seek after side quests and their own subtle narratives Finding new witcher contracts Discovering what each marker has in store for the player
- 6. Causes of Disrupted Immersion HUD Framing - The games UI isnt flush against the edges of the player view. Causing more space to be obstructed from the noise of the UI elements. Information Load - The game provides information such as button commands, multiple items, combat log, map, time of day, distance from objective, and player statistics all at once.
- 8. UI Frame Here we see a small bit of screen lost because of the UI frame. Unfortunately this wastes space and reduces how much the player may see.
- 9. Unnecessary Information pt.1 The game provides button commands the entire game. At a certain point this is simply takes up player space and is unused. These visual cues unfortunately lose their usefulness as the player becomes more familiar with the game.
- 10. Unnecessary Information pt.2 Time The time of day is also given to the player. It is never needed to understand the time of day. Items The game provides 5 item slots and keys that fail to map similarly to the keyboard. Also the text for each item adds more clutter to the screen.
- 11. Design Solution from BloodBorne: Items Bloodborne (as seen on the right) only shows text for the currently selected item. IT reduces screen clutter and streamlines on the spot inventory uses. BloodBorne
- 12. Proposed Design
- 13. Comparison The proposed design solution allows for the player to see more and reduces the noise from the poor framing of the UI elements.
