Netflix's new interface sucks:
- I'm not a fan of the "expanded card" selection
- I have to navigate all the way back to the top of the screen to access the menu bar

#GameUIFridays 4/18/25 - The Nintendo Music app has added into its UI some features previously only found with Nintendo music posted on YouTube by fans. One example is the option to extend the duration of some music to 15, 30, or 60 minutes. It's definitely a nice quality of life addition. 🎮U👁️

#GameUIFridays 3/28/25 - The Nintendo DS had a few user interface features that allowed for hundreds of creative play experiences. The console had two screens (the bottom one being touch), a built-in stylus, and a microphone. Fun fact, the "DS" stands for "Dual Screen" or "Developer's System". 🎮U👁️

#GameUIFridays 3/7/25 - When it comes to stylized UI, its hard to find a game that embodies it more fully than Persona 5. What do you see as the pros or cons of such a creatve direction? Is legibility an issue? How does the UI factor into the game's overall aesthetic? 🎮U👁️

I’m proud to say this month marks 10 years in the game industry for me!
I’ve worked as a UI/UX Designer on mobile and augmented reality games at #Disney and I’m currently at #JamCity
#SoloDev is my next big adventure. Making that transition will be tough, but I’m excited!

#GameUIFridays 1/24/25 - Prey has a twist on the classic "Weapon Wheel". They use a "Weapon Spiral"! It allows for more inventory slots beyond a normal wheel layout and the spiral moves in Z-space as players select items. Is this UI a superior upgrade?

#GameUIFridays 1/17/25 - In 2024 there was a big online debate over games using yellow paint or other diegetic UI to point out interactive objects within levels. Some say it breaks immersion. Others say players would get stuck without it. Is it better to be overly clear or not?

#GameUIFridays 1/10/25 - Super Mario Maker's UI has so much charm and creativity. A rocket that erases your progress. Enemies that wiggle when you drag & drop them. A cursor that looks like Mario's hand. What's your favorite fun/weird UI quirk?

#GameUIFridays 1/3/25 - I love "Playable UI" (for lack of a better term). For example, in Super Mario Sunshine, players select their save file by controlling Mario and jumping to hit blocks. They also run to the right to reveal the options menu. Are you a fan of "Playable UI"?

I sure hope racists and moderates don’t take Dr. King’s words out of context to push some hollow argument of peace.
They like to play this game of “Everything is fine” and use Dr. King quotes as support.
Well here’s a Dr. King quote for you.
