Slot Machine
Within the renovation of the UI of Smeet the Slot machines redesign was one of the mayor priorities.
Main Roles: UI/UX
Background
Goals
In my thesis, I was researching Procedural Rhetoric, the concept describing the way video games can use rules to communicate ideas and potentially produce behavioral changes.
Having players engage directly with the personal stories of homeless individuals in the game aims to humanize a social issue, allowing them to feel more connected to and compassionate towards people in similar situations in real life. Further, the game is supposed to encourage a deeper reflection on real-world social issues, challenging players to question their own beliefs and the systems that shape their perspectives.
Challenges
This is also a delicate theme due to the gambling aspect, which needed to be handled with care and respect, ensuring that the design fosters a responsible and enjoyable user experience.
Genre: Social Game
Engine: In-House Engine
Tools: Photoshop, Flash, Figma, Miro
Team Size: 1
Duration: Jan 2023 – Nov 2023
Platform: PC, iOS, Mobile Devices
Role(s) and responsibilities
Research and Data Analysis
To gain a deeper understanding of our target audience, I developed user personas to inform and guide design decisions. I conducted a comprehensive evaluation of both competitor products and the current product to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. Additionally, I created a journey map for the existing slot machine, which helped pinpoint areas where the updated version required a fresh approach and revealed opportunities to address and eliminate pain points.
Iterative Prototyping
A strong understanding of user needs and close engagement with the user base allowed for an expedited wireframing phase. The initial low-fidelity prototype was quickly developed and subjected to A/B testing, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback. Over time, the prototype underwent several iterations, continuously refined based on user input and data insights. This phase provided an opportunity to experiment with various design variations, enabling me to identify the solutions that worked best for the users.
UI Design
I designed and maintained reusable components to streamline development and ensure a consistent user experience. Balancing adherence to the game’s design guidelines with the delivery of a stylized, high-fidelity aesthetic proved to be one of the more challenging aspects of the development process.
Key Takeaways
- Prioritizing
Managing all aspects of development alone was challenging. This was worsened by a grand scope and high orientation to detail. In the future, collaborating with a larger team or delegating tasks could improve efficiency and allow for deeper focus on key areas, such as game mechanics.
- Deepened Testing
While testing towards the end of development yielded valuable insights, conducting broader playtests earlier in the process could have identified usability issues and informed design adjustments sooner.
