DYK that having a smooth and intuitive user experience (UX) is crucial for a fire gaming title in the GameFi world? In this article, we’ll spill the tea on the main aspects that make gaming UX DOPE and highlight what makes GameFi UX different from the traditional one.

Gaming UX

Can you enjoy playing without adequate controls, onboarding, a well-structured menu, and comfy navigation? We know the answer: even the most exciting gameplay will be ruined without them. Meanwhile, if a title with an average storyline and conventional visuals has a fire intuitive UX, it can attract multiple stans. This is the secret of many indie games, the unbeatable popularity of mobile projects, and the boost of titles like Stray! In other words, UX is a vital part of any title. Making it DOPE means providing it with the following characteristics:

Attractive

To level up the UX game, creators need to focus on visuals. Icons, menus, and screens should match the game’s aesthetics and be sleek and understandable. Think of them as 6Y and sassy!

Convenient

GameFi UX is all about HF and convenience. It should be intuitively understandable without any extra distractions. Creators should study other successful projects, understand their audience, and engage players in testing before launch. By considering players’ feedback, they can fine-tune the UX and establish efficient open dialogues.

Memorable

Bop GameFi UX must leave a lasting impression. Users should go through a memorable onboarding process and carry those experiences. It should be as sweet as first love but filled with great moments only. Keep the structure apparent, transparent, and catchy, allowing players to experience emotions and evoke strong associations.

GameFi UX Specifics

Last year, GameFi projects were widely blamed for non-comfortable UX. And, though many projects work on it, in Web3 realms, it is still more complicated to build something sufficient than in Web2 ones. The thing is that the nature of blockchain gaming titles requires the implementation of multiple extra features.

Onboarding

While in Web2 games, onboarding may be somehow skipped, in Web3, it is a must. Just consider how many players are new to blockchain! Thus, besides gaming processes, onboarding should include wallet connection and asset-buying steps.

Wallet Integration

As a rule, in P2E, one can’t access a GameFi title without wallet creation. The process should be understandable or conducted with a click. For instance, one can make a button called “Wallet Creation” to send a user to a fit service and give step-by-step instructions. Meanwhile, all transaction processing may be automatized with the help of smart contracts.

Assets

All operations with assets should be comfy, with transparent listings and accurate transaction histories. For this, a game should have an in-build marketplace with enhanced options or let users maximize their experiences with Prom.

Rewards

Transparent reward systems and adequate token distribution mechanisms are the musts of any fit UX to motivate players. So, keep them clear and accurate. Meanwhile, remember that users want to know the algorithms: all your structures should be briefly described during the onboarding, on your socials, and in special guides.

Scalability

Being multiplatform is the new black for any blockchain game. Please do your best to keep it smooth and not focus on only the gadget or operational system.

Security

Blockchain gaming requires multi-factor authentication and secure wallet integrations. Keep it easy for newbies with your smart contracts, and emphasize the security aspect in your guides.

Conclusion

As you see, GameFi UX has complex peculiarities that can make any project comfortable and popular. Consider such details while choosing a game to play or shaping your dream title!
