AS2 - Grey Box Project

Directions

In the first scene of the prototype game, the 'MENU' page displays various buttons that would feature in a fully developed game. While most of the buttons are placeholder (non-functioning) items, clicking the 'CONTROLS' button will direct you to the second functioning scene of the game. 

While in the 'CONTROLS' scene the user is able to have basic interaction with the 'Dog' character that will feature in the game. The user is able to easily interact with the character by pressing buttons that are labeled with basic letters and symbols, that are on either side of the descriptive function text. 

The functions are as follows;

- Rotate: Left and Right (L, R)

- Move: Left and Right (L, R)

- Size: Grow and Shrink (+, -) 

There is a 'RESET' button at the bottom of the controls panel, allowing the user to reset the characters position back to its original sizing and placement.

The 'EXIT' button at the very bottom of the controls panel is clearly identifiable through colour differentiation and placement, allows the user to return to the 'MENU' scene.

UX Principles

Reoccurring and consistent placement of objects and materials throughout both scenes; Button placements, object placement, colour schemes and font.

The purposeful placement of objects and buttons was used to give the game a free and uncluttered appearance.

The platform in which the game was intended to be used (mobile devices), was the focus when determining the navigation layout. This included the sizing and space between navigational buttons, so that they would be functional on all platforms.
