i've been making games since 5th grade. currently, i'm a freshman at university of utah studying software engineering with an emphasis in game design (tl;dr game development but i focus on programming more). in some of my free time, i am also teaching myself user interface & user experience design (UI/UX).

why ui? that's a very good question, and i'm glad you asked! :D

something that i've noticed for a while now is that well-made ui will always go unnoticed. why? because good ui is effectively "invisible" to the naked eye. so instead of being confused on how to interact with the game, players can focus on what's important: the gameplay, the environment, the story, and all the art that the rest of the development team poured their hearts and souls into. but if you got some bad ui, players will always complain since it gets in the way of them interacting seamlessly with the content you've made.

it's like an important background character. nobody typically pays attention to them nor care, but the second they are removed from the world, then everything falls apart. that's obviously quite the stretch, but still kinda accurate. being frank, your game can have the best of everything. but if you make it hard for players to actually interact with your creation, then, well, wouldn't that just kinda go to waste in a way?

as such, my end goal is to help game studios out there create the best ui possible. because you definitely don't want your players to go through this, right?
