Overview
The Decimated project is a post-apocalyptic survival game set in a futuristic, dystopian world. The goal of the UI/UX design was to create an immersive interface that complemented the game’s cyberpunk aesthetic while ensuring seamless usability. The design had to balance the gritty, desolate atmosphere of the game with intuitive navigation and functionality, enhancing player engagement and supporting a complex, multi-layered gameplay experience.
Objective
The primary objective was to design a UI/UX that fully immerses players in the Decimated universe, making the interface both visually striking and easy to navigate.
Process
The UI/UX process for Decimated began with extensive research to align the design with the game’s cyberpunk lore and aesthetic while benchmarking against competitor games to identify opportunities for improvement. Following this, wireframes and prototypes were created, incorporating a futuristic design language with intuitive layouts to enhance usability. User testing was then conducted to gather feedback, enabling refinements in both functionality and visual elements to meet player needs effectively.
Impact
The impact of the redesigned UI/UX for Decimated was significant, offering a balance between immersion and practicality, much like the approach seen in games like ARMA III. While Decimated’s interface is grounded in its dystopian setting, it avoids overly futuristic elements, instead focusing on clean, functional designs that prioritize usability.
