Why is UX important in Game design?

UX can make or break a game's success. If the user experience is poor, players are unlikely to play the game for long.

[{"selector":"#anim-7cef0bec-e23e-4ec8-9ca9-d2d278e26d2f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-4de18de3-2d9b-46f4-ad37-937eea385989","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 1

UX can increase player engagement by creating a fun, immersive, and rewarding experience.

[{"selector":"#anim-67dc45d3-0a08-4107-89f2-324928972e46","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-238da9f0-11a9-4701-929e-8ca1138e0ada","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 2

UX can increase revenue by encouraging players to spend money on in-game items or upgrades.

[{"selector":"#anim-17bda0f9-7525-428f-9e8e-ca8ff01dc5b0","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d82093e-deb6-41cb-99fd-688a11f0c9c0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 3

UX can enhance player satisfaction by creating a game that is intuitive, easy to learn, and challenging to master.

[{"selector":"#anim-5be6520d-5a67-48b6-98c6-547a19336cee","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0be9199-68a2-4fbc-bd66-c9b8200114a6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 4

UX can help a game stand out in a crowded market by providing a unique and memorable experience.

UX can create a sense of emotional connection with players and they might become your loyal fans.

[{"selector":"#anim-2474111e-45ae-49e6-b1db-7090a22c2e71","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-45f3fc49-1413-4f5c-9e54-e5e9411e2fdb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 6

UX can increase player motivation by providing clear goals and rewards in your game. A confusing game is often neglected by players.

[{"selector":"#anim-aa63a118-1552-4172-a146-6b5c45e12548","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb214f3a-06a8-44fb-add3-be935eb1d9a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 7

UX can improve accessibility by creating a game that is easy to play and understand for players with different abilities.

[{"selector":"#anim-946206ea-c83b-4191-8a45-6c4da9e1d7f1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.3)","scale(0.97)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed76a139-77a9-468a-9d12-3a46d6f20667","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 9

UX can help a game to stand the test of time by creating a game that is enjoyable and engaging even after years of play.
