Friendly reminder to Recruiters and Game Studios. UI and UX are different skills and different jobs, especially in video game development! You will not get both skills equally just because the title is UI/UX or UX/UI. This is important: UI = Art UX = Design Yes, there's an overlap with the skills and knowledge, but that does not warrant the need for the combined UI/UX title! I noticed this a lot when I was looking for a job in Autumn and it seems like everyone has their own take and idea of what UX and UI are. I think there are several reasons why we have this new trend of UI/UX titles, but it isn't very clear what skills are expected for the job and I would even say that it dilutes the importance of both jobs to say they are easily combined. I saw most of these job titles leaning towards UI Art, and not so much UX. (Yes there might be Unicorns out there that are excellent in both, but this is very rare. But you should WANT to have them as separate responsibilities because you get different focuses and results from a UI Artist vs a UX Designer). #UX #UI #gamedev Watch this to learn more: https://lnkd.in/d59hZb3k

So excited about the recent update for Valorant by Riot Games! As a UX/UI designer, I love dissecting these changes to understand how they enhance accessibility and quality of life in the game. Riot always nails it with their clean UI. Can't wait for the console release! Took a screenshot to analyze – such attention to detail. Big thanks to all the Valorant developers, including Alex Wheeler if you were involved! Sharing what stood out to me the most. And huge thanks to all the Valorant DEVS!! #gaming #Valorant #UX #UI

Time flies! It has been six months since I joined Froglet Games, and I want to give a shout-out to the incredible folks I'm working with. It's blissful to have the motivation to move the project in the same direction. Garrett Milliron - A great leader and an excellent listener. When demonstrating complicated concepts, I sometimes found it hard to structure my words, but he always understood exactly what I meant without excessive explanations. This is a rare gift in leadership. His passion for physics and games drives the dream he has today - a game that connects people armed with knowledge of science and nature. Isaiah Merrill - It's rare to find someone who is an expert in computer science and software engineering while also knowing what it takes to manage a team with compassion and empathy. It's an honor to call him a great mentor and a very good friend whom I can rely on for feedback that helps me grow and thrive. He often comes in to put the project out of the fire when needed, in which I will try to help more in the future. Camryn Manker - When you look at the amazing designs she has done for Cosmic Shore, you can hardly tell this is the work of a UI/UX Designer who has only been with us for a few months. She has consistently engaged and communicated with the team members on UI/UX. Her portfolio speaks loudly of her passion for accessibility. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you need insights on a more accessible design for your product. You can also check out her portfolio [here](https://lnkd.in/giV29fWT). Miguel Neves - Before joining Froglet Games, I had a great time working with Miguel. I could tell he had a great passion for games and unique tastes for sound design. Sounds and scores are often overlooked during the game development process, yet their impact on games' immersion and engagement levels are immense. It's great that we have a talented Sound Designer on our team. Will Bogen - As an Instructional Designer, he has extended his expertise to our gameplay and App shell workflow. Most of our pitch videos were edited and narrated by him, showcasing his capability to efficiently get things done. He always brings a great flow of energy to the whole team. Anthon Fynn-Williams - I was working on instrumenting data collection features of Cosmic Shore when Anthon came in at the right time. While I knew what it took to engineer the feature, I had limited knowledge when it came to organizing a dashboard presenting a meaningful collection of charts. Anthon has been a patient co-worker who helped me with testing and debugging. Now we can understand our player base better, thanks to him. (Continued in the comment-)
