- Some interesting parallels between game UI design and transmedia design… #sxsw #
- Provide immersive cues to the player about their status – the more ambiguity the player has, the less immersive their world is. #sxsw #
- Distinguish active from inactive – provide cues so that players know what they can/need to touch. #sxsw #
- If the player DOES fail during a task, make sure they understand why. #sxsw #
- Be game-state aware – give correct data to players at correct time, & let them dig deeper to areas that they want to find out about #sxsw #
- Reading is easier than remembering – make objectives clear and memorable, don’t overburden w/information #sxsw #
- Remember real life – provide quick and easy exits; consider environment your game is played in. #sxsw #
- Maintain flow – minimize content breaks and cognitive dissonance. Does it all feel like one system? #sxsw #
- Ask “What could I take away?” – don’t include information that’s irrelevant and don’t let bells and whistles overwhelm your project #sxsw #
- The "Having Fun Yet?" panel was what #SXSW is all about. #
