Minecraft Dungeons UI Redesign

About the Project

This is the final culminating project for my participation in ELVTR’s UX/UI Design for Gaming program. This project evaluates the players’ behaviour and decision making process in order to inform the UI redesign for Minecraft Dungeons. The purpose of this project is to apply my UX and UI design knowledge to conduct user research, create wireframes, and adapt a new visual design style to the Minecraft Dungeons UI design.

My Roles & Responsibilities

Solo UI/UX Designer

User Research
UI/visual design
Accessibility

Length of the Project

1 Week (spread across an 8 week program)

Challenges

Short turn around time for each stage of the project
No access to game designers, assets, or users for Minecraft Dungeons, so all information was gathered through my observations and research
Limited access to art and visual resources used in high-fidelity designs

Outcomes and Results

Learned how to apply UX design to a video game with limited resources and short time span.
Practiced applying new style of UI design to different gameplay
Learned how users’ perception can be quite different from game designers’ intentions
Applied user research to help ensure the game is intuitive and fun for the player
