i agree! it’s much more fun to learn when you are making things that interest you rather than just following tutorials

yes! ikea has some great designs, but they just felt so much like 3d game assets and i’ve been working on learning to 3d model that i was like “i must try this”

that little kid from ant farm standing in front of a interview microphone being at a loss for words

my exact reaction when someone asks me what my plans are after i graduate

unfortunately walking through ikea is not as magical anymore. lots of “no teenager would have a room this organized!” and also “what adult has the time and money for a perfectly guitar themed living room?”

i hate being a game designer. wtf do you mean you went to ikea and saw the ketchup and mustard bottles and went “i have to 3d model this” and took 360 pictures

can someone tell me if the new pokémon game is worth it

i think then maybe play around with it! I often find when it comes to designing ui in games i tend to lean towards how players would describe what they are looking for or doing. Like out loud if you were to ask a player which one they liked better you would probably say “this one” or “that one”

you could also go the pokémon “which one are you” route where you show both options on screen and ask players to pick which one they want and that way there’s no words. or you can change it to like “this one” and “that one” because ultimately players are choosing based off how it looks not the words

i need some help!

what are some visual novels or visual novel style games that have really good ui/ux design? stuff that’s interesting but also not too over the top. i’m not looking for p5 or metaphor style ui but something that’s unique and plays into the genre of the game itself?

wow a lot of typos on my end. my bad but hopefully that made sense!

Sorry i don’t have an “answer” per se but i think it’s important to not get too hung up on it when trying to brainstorm. honestly i would playtest them out. even paper prototyping which just showing the options and asking people which words they respond to better / responded to in the way you want

i think detaching sex from the labels is a good start but without making a very detailed and customizable model it might be very hard to find something that doesn’t play into stereotypes.

i mean without having a lot of in game models, it’s hard to really avoid having premade models that really skew towards a stereotype so i think that nothing will end up feeling perfect.

people have been sending me internship applications and while i really appreciate it, the sudden and harsh realization after looking at them is that i can’t apply because i am graduating this year…. which means i have to actually apply for a… job….
