As a Gameplay UX Designer at Ubisoft, you'll be the glue that binds game design, UI, sound, VFX, and other feedback channels to create a seamless and engaging experience.
You’ll make sure content is communicated clearly and navigation flows intuitively, so that players can fully immerse themselves in gameplay.
Throughout the user-centric development process, you’ll focus on the game as a whole while considering the impact of every design choice. As a creative problem-solver, you’ll come up with solutions to prevent any (frustrating) discontinuity in the player experience. You’ll smooth out any unwanted friction that stands between our players and the enjoyment they are – and should always be – having.
What you’ll do
- Partner with ergonomists and the user research team to get a clear picture of player behaviours, goals, motivations, values, needs, etc.
- Develop the overall core gameplay experience (flow, layout, logic, navigation, controls, feedback, etc.).
- Design the onboarding experience to ensure a smooth learning process.
- Build prototypes and wireframes to test concepts, explore opportunities, and look for pain points.
- Collaborate with interdependent teams (audio, art, animation, narrative, game design, level design, etc.) to support game features.
- Work (very) closely with UI artists and game designers to balance usability and functionality with visual appeal.
- Adapt your designs based on play test results and comments from cross-functional teams.
- Stay up to date on interaction design best practices + promote them across the studio.
