She works very closely with a game designer when they have a specific feature of a mobile game to work on, and helps figure out the best UX flow by prototyping the wireframes. An interactive prototype is also a great way to get everybody on board, as you have something to show:. They then have the opportunity to give feedback, and sometimes I can action those on the spot whilst on the computer, and it updates the prototype in the app. This agile way of discussing during meetings in turn benefits the overall implementation of the UI further down the line.

From here you can identify and remove pain points such as controls that are difficult for some players or clarify instructions. He still uses it to prototype multiplayer interactions but now sets gamepad inputs in the same way as a keyboard input in Adobe XD, which he thinks is revolutionizing console game prototyping.

Michael Flarup , designer, entrepreneur, and founder of entertainment design studio Northplay , meanwhile, tends to prototype straight in Unity. His team builds UI designs in Photoshop, which they then play around with inside the engine. We spent many iterations on finding the right amount of complexity for the indicators that would follow around the trains and switches in the game.

Unfortunately, all of our attempts added an additional layer and caused more friction. In the end, the simplest solution won. The road to a complicated game UI is paved with good intentions, but in our case it needed to shrink to the simplest form we could think of.

Northplay iterated on more than 20 different button indicators before boiling it down to really simple shapes. Here are just a few of the variants they went through.
