Day 22: Game Logo Design

-

I began today by collecting assets, such as fonts and colour schemes, which I can use throughout my project to create a consistent UI design system. I also created a logo design, inspired by submarine UI, for my game concept featuring the font, VP Pixel Hi-Res, and a glow effect.

Day 7: Diegetic UI

-
Image
Today, I explored Diegetic UI in more depth by creating a mind map of Diegetic UI elements and collating visual examples of Diegetic UI in video games. I also watched  The UI Design of Dead Space 2023: A Game User Interface Analysis  and read articles and academic papers such as  Interview: Dino Ignacio  and  Exploring Diegetic Interface in videogames: Enhancing Player Involvement .  Pros of Diegetic UI - The application of Diegetic UI elements can make a game stand out from the competition.  - Results in more screen space due to less information being displayed in the HUD.   - Contributes to an overall minimalistic and reduced UI design style.  - UI integrated into a game world creates a sense of immersion.  - Can enhance gameplay mechanics and narrative.  - Creates a sense of realism within a game.  Cons of Diegetic UI  - Development requires more resources compared to Non-Diegetic elements.  - Diegetic UI can ...

Week 2: Creating a Health Bar in UE5

This week, to prepare for my DE4402 essay, I wrote a summary of the assignment , followed practitioners on LinkedIn, ArtStation and Instagram, and wrote a blog post of potential practitioners I could interview. For my practice module, I created a functional health bar in UE5, over the course of a few days, using as little direction as possible to try to learn through trial and error rather than just following tutorials step by step. I also challenged myself to use Blender for the first time without using any tutorials to create a 3D model of a lantern to import in to Unreal Engine and use within my level.  The Process:  In the level, the player must travel through a dark cave using rocks, wooden planks and moving platforms to avoid the lava and reach the finish line.  To create the effect of jagged rocks, I distorted the shape of static mesh cubes by activating modelling mode, adding edge loops and using PolyGroup Edit to move, rotate and scale the faces, edges and verti...
