Tysm for this! I love gaming and I honestly never thought i could never enter the gaming industry cause I’m not an artist or a coder. I think this is the perfect path for me to enter the industry

[@SkYHawK2600]

Thank you for making such a video, you can't imagine how it's helpful for me

[@sweetpeachcosmetics7144]

very well put together and useful. Please make a series on ui/ux into gaming! this insight helped me confirm that I am choosing the right career path! Thank you!

[@andreilevandoski9922]

As Alex said, there's no limit when you're designing for games. I work in digital products and sometimes I wish I could just get out of the box and design something diferent. But I understand that design for function don't have the same freedom as design for entertainment. Very curious to work in a game project some day.

[@jorge-baruchi]

Where did you study? Any online courses that you suggest?

[@Aqvinate]

Thanks a lot for this video, Creative Assembly! I'm currently studying Product Design and working as a UI/UX Design and i'm thinking about working in the game industry and this video is pure gold! PS: Thanks CA for Alien Isolation, i still love and play this master piece!

Looking to get into UX UI design in games and this video was very helpful!

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you, guys!

This was amazing, thank you for doing this!

[@dis-ven]

love how it gives more room for creativiy it sounds exciting

[@ssenadokmeci]

great video, thank you

[@hardboiled2000]

Thinking about making the switch to game UX. This is a really nice primer

[@ytmtj]

UX is pretty much linked with Game Feel. A really important concept too

[@101touchapps]

🎉 love it

[@mirm0n]

Amazing talk!

[@pelliorosh]

There is a wonderful ELVTR course called "UX/UI for Gaming". I took a course in 2021 with the instructor, Ivy Sang, and it was awesome + you get a wonderful cohort of fellow learners to talk to. You leave the course with lots of material for a gaming focused UX portfolio also.

[@DanielTolentino42]

What’s the tuition?

[@pelliorosh]

@@DanielTolentino42 I think itd around 1300$ , but you can do up to 3 split Payments

[@DanielTolentino42]

@@pelliorosh That’s awesome, thank you!

[@Wittevlokken22]

First off. Great talk. Anna I really like your medium articles. quick question for both of you coming from someone currently working at a design agency as a UX designer. What for you both was the biggest change or thing you needed to relearn when starting working on games instead of web/apps?

[@AnthemNotBanal]

Ever get an answer here? I'd love to hear it if so!

[@Wittevlokken22]

@@AnthemNotBanal Sadly I did not no

[@robertjag167]

I love this. I have always been fascinated with UI design ever since I was little! I was really curious what the odds are for a UX/UI designer to get into the games industry? Also.. would it be any benefit for someone to be able to produce their own sounds and soundtracks? Thats pretty much where my expertise lies.

[@mrscanlan.5016]

It will/would be the number fighting arena game EVER!!!!! I'll go into more details if any one wants to hear

[@starogre]

overall it seems like ux is getting better in both standard products and games. but i think games still suffer from walking the same line between accessibility and entertainment. it's not fair to call things like instagram UI boring. obviously people engage with that app more than they do any video game. also, can you really stare at persona UI all day vs. instagram UI? i love game UX, especially the new Kirby on Switch. but I think both industries have a lot to learn from each other

[@rsu1367]

Does the ux/ui designer create the art of just the functionality?

[@Vovelic]

It depends on your role. At 21:03 he mentions the different roles as a UI designer some of which include creating some art :)

[@MasonDixonAutistic]

Will any of this make it into a Total War game?

[@chriswahl1337]

Topic starts at 5:42 for anyone that doesn't care about introductions.

[@-LTUIiiin]

Honestly, I think its crucial to know the presenters background before you go on to take their advice, no? A lot of the time here on youtube you have millions of 'top tips and tricks' videos from people who you're not even sure if work in the industry or not.

[@cherry-lp8yq]

I'm a uxui designer interested in game design as general, I will be pursuing master degree, do I have to shift to game design and development or just stick to uxui

[@bakasumi]

Thank you both for this informative video❤I am very interested in the role as UI artist. Can anybody recommendate a good online course for UI art? 😊 Thanks a lot.

[@CreativeAssembly]

Hello, we recommend studying Graphic design, mastering basic design principles and having an overview of what a design system is and how it would work for UI Art. You can find further useful information on games careers over at one of our education partners websites, IntoGames: intogames.org/role/ui-designer

[@bakasumi]

@@CreativeAssembly Woow amazing, thank you for your answer and also the link. I already have studied Communication Design and Illustration, and worked mainly for web- and printdesign. But the world of ui/ux especially in games is totally new to me :D Thanks to your video, i can widen my horizon!

[@mrscanlan.5016]

Great little insight in this video, My name is Charlie S, I have a project to be developed into a game, i played that Spartan Total Warrior by SEGA and creative assembly on the PS2, it was a little Gem of a game, it was so great, i think you guys should make a total war game on the Play station, but where you play as one character at a time, i was wondering if any one could help me out on here with a contact or some one who could point me into the right direction in helping me getting my project developed into a game, NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN GAMING and i think it could possible be the Number 1 of it's genre. The game will be timeless classic and have that great game FEEL to it, also with 5 different types of games before the MAIN Campaign story line, with the option of going on line too, which will be so so epic

@CreativeAssembly Anna, what Total War games you play, and tell us what you like about each game uniquely ? Question to CA. Do Women even play games they are working on ?
