Game interface design plays a crucial role in the player’s experience, impacting enjoyment, usability, and emotional engagement. Our team of design specialists offers a wide range of services aimed at creating unique and appealing game interfaces that will help your game stand out in the market and retain user attention.

  1. Prototyping and User Experience Research

    UX prototyping in mobile games helps create a pleasant and intuitive interaction between the player and the game, contributing to increased satisfaction with the gaming experience and a higher likelihood of players returning to the game time and again.

  2. Animations in UI/UX

    Animations in UI/UX interfaces play a crucial role, as they help create a more engaging and dynamic user experience. Well-designed animations can enhance the user’s perception of interaction processes, making the application more interesting and easier to use.

  3. Interface Design

    In computer games, UI design is often more complex due to the greater number of functions and elements that need to be displayed on the screen. Here, it is crucial to maintain a balance between informativeness and the visual load on the player.

  4. Visual Effects in UI/UX

    Visual effects in UI/UX for games create atmosphere and enhance the user experience. They can be used to highlight key moments, create a sense of dynamism, and capture the player’s attention. For example, pop-up windows, lighting effects, transition animations, and special effects triggered by specific actions can make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive.

  5. UI/UX Testing

    UX testing results help developers understand which aspects of the interface need improvement and determine the optimal placement of elements, color schemes, font sizes, and other details to create a pleasant and user-friendly experience. UX testing makes the game more appealing to a broad audience and increases its success in the mobile app market.

What is the difference between UI and UX designers?

Both specialists are involved in game design. UI designers are responsible for the user interface through which the player interacts with the game. This includes all visual elements: buttons, menus, tooltips, character states, navigation, and more. A good interface should be intuitive and informative. While each game has a unique interface that matches its visual style, there are universally accepted rules that influence interface design.

UX design is a broader concept that encompasses the entire user experience. How will the player interact with the game? How will they behave in specific situations? Is the navigation through levels clear enough? Good UX in games increases player engagement and ensures a positive gaming experience.

Thus, UX designers are responsible for the overall user experience, while UI specialists create convenient tools for interaction.

Why outsource UI/UX development to Metabula Games?

UX design in games has its own specifics. For example, there are widely accepted standards for the placement and function of buttons, symbols of informational elements, and so on. Each game genre requires an individual approach. Some games need a minimalist interface that doesn’t distract attention, while others require numerous small details that must be visible.

Specialists who have created dozens of games understand these nuances. They also know which details are important and which can be omitted. Additionally, by outsourcing UI/UX design, you can save time and accelerate game development.
