FINDING USER STRUGGLES

I began by writing down some questions I felt were relevant to players. After some tweaking, I created a list, did some user testing, and gathered the requirements of what needed to be changed.

• Merging the client and the game into one software
• Make the colors and style of the client consistent with that of the game
• Show smaller advertisements, emphasize playing game and contacting friends
• Let updates be more prominent on the login page
• Turn button options into text option to decrease confusion, fewer clicks

GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT

I decreased the size of the ads, allowed players to change their skins from the main menu, and got rid of small graphics used to link to specifically game-related content. I also added a spot for viewing the most recent updates. I also put the selected character onto the main screen so players will be greeted by their most played character or the newest character.  The characters will be represented by their in-game models to give players a better feel of what the game will actually look and feel like. The backdrop for the client will be Summoners rift, and will change depending on the selected game mode.

MAKING A SUCCESSFUL HI-FI

For any who play the game, it is well known that the game is from a 3rd person perspective. In order to make a successful hi-fi, I really put my photoshop skills to the test. In order to get a good idea of what this map would look like, I took screenshots from youtube videos, overlaid them, and made a background that looks consistent with the in-game battlefield.

AN ENLIGHTENING CASE STUDY

It was a great experience trying to create a new twist on a launcher for a classic game. This case study took me about a week to complete and involved following all the steps in the UX process.
