Dev log #21 - Designing & Developing UI
Greetings, fellow adventurers! Today, we embark on an exhilarating expedition into the heart of UI/UX design and development, unearthing the treasures that await both in-game interactions and menu experiences within our forthcoming masterpiece.
Our journey into UI design began with a clear vision in mind – a harmonious convergence of functionality and elegance, all wrapped within the embrace of minimalistic aesthetics. A touch of innovation adds a delightful twist – instead of the customary Main Menu, we welcome you to our dynamic Home screen, a living nexus pulsating with uncharted possibilities and immersive engagements.

Accessibility has been a cornerstone of our design philosophy. We've painstakingly crafted an
interface that's harmoniously navigable using a keyboard or controller, with the mouse taking a
backseat. This choice empowers players to effortlessly immerse themselves in our world, regardless of their preferred input medium. But this is merely the beginning of our creative journey.

Consistency is the lifeblood of an exceptional UI, and our game is no exception. To seamlessly
blend the UI with the gameplay experience, we've woven the concept of 'wisps' into our design
language. These ethereal beings serve as both creators and concealers of our UI elements,
further immersing players into the game's mystique.
Smooth animations are the secret ingredient that elevates our UI from functional to delightful. By
striking a balance between fluidity and speed, we've ensured that interacting with UI elements is
a seamless experience. No more waiting on tedious animations to finish before tweaking
settings or interacting with the UI HUD – we're all about keeping the frustration at bay.
Transitioning to mobile devices required innovation. Each control was meticulously optimized for
touch interaction, without compromising the immersive gameplay our users deserve. It was a
brainstorming journey where every tap and swipe was scrutinized to harmonize with the mobile
experience, maintaining the magic intact.
