UX: The process of enhancing
user satisfaction by improving
the usability, ease of use, and
pleasure provided in the
interaction between the user
and the product.

11. Sign
 In games, a sign is something that
informs/prevents/tell the player of a
mechanic beforehand.
 It is important to
 create a coherent language
 Take into account existing codes
 Never break the rules
established in the game to
maintain trust in them
 Sings can also be used to
create challenge.
Green = falls
Red = turns

12. Feedback
 In games, feedbacks are used to
communicate the outcome of an
action after the player performed it.
 It is used to teach, to reinforce, to
guide, to confirm, etc.
 Feedback also needs to be coherent,
ideally with the sings as well.
 Feedbacks are a very important
communication tool to explain the
mechanics to the player.

13. Form follows function
 FFF is a key concept of all type of design,
coming from architecture design.
 It implies that shape of an object
should be primarily based upon its
intended function or purpose.
 FFF is a rule that helps creating good UX.
 It improves readability, coherence and
must be taken into account when
creating all type of assets in the game.
 Breaking the FFF can be done consciously to
create surprise or challenge.
Smooth = jump
Spike = shoot
