How does one make good game UI? Any pitfalls to avoid and rules

>>298683
i guess it depends of what type of game is it. if you're serious about it just follow a paid course on lynda or some other place that teaches ui/ux (assuming you know the basics of design/adobe's)

Dunno about the UI.

>>298684 is right tho, better take those courses, whilst searching for UX tutorials I found tons of dudes that give away some pdf's about their experience and knowledge. (A bit pretentious but hey, free knowledge.)

Also might help, they talk about different things in videogame creation. Might help ya, or at least entertain ya.

Extra Credits is horrible and has absolutely no idea what they're talking about when it comes to a lot of things, they're pretty terrible armchair analysts. I wouldn't suggest listening to anything they have to say when it comes to UI/UX.

Poke around on Neilsen Norman Group's site, they're basically the top resource for professional UX/UI stuff. In particular anything on Heuristics will help you get oriented.

The official GDC YouTube channel has some good stuff too, a lot of it is super esoteric development and business stuff but every once in a while I come across a talk that's more focused on design. There was an interesting one on the evolution of Hearthstone's UI, for example.
