Creating a compelling UI is a continuous process that goes hand in hand with game development. This week, we made significant strides in setting up character selection and lobby widgets, two essential components that will enrich the player experience in our upcoming game. With networking functionality on the horizon and a commitment to user-centric design, we're excited about the journey ahead and can't wait to share our game with the world.
Character Selection Widget - This component is critical for allowing players to select their characters. A well-thought-out character selection UI can set the tone for the entire game. The character selection widget is set up to showcase multiple unique characters, each with their own distinct abilities and characteristics, adding depth and strategy to our gameplay. Now that I have the outline complete I can get to work on design.
Lobby Widget - In multiplayer games, the lobby is the virtual meeting place where players gather before starting on their gaming journey. This is the place where bonds are forged, tactics are planned, and players ready themselves for combat.
Our lobby widget was designed with these factors in mind. We aimed to create an inviting and user-friendly space where players can interact with ease. A visually appealing interface with clear options for matchmaking ensures that players can swiftly dive into the action.
