Introduction

Task 2: interactive web application pre-production & prototype

Idea Development

In today's digital age, the rapid development of the game industry has made game development not only limited to the game itself, but also expanded to all aspects of the game, including game promotion, community interaction, and player support. In order to better serve game players and developers, game interactive websites, as an important component, are particularly critical. When developing such a website, making a high-quality prototype is a crucial step. This article will introduce in detail how to make a prototype of a game interactive website, including preliminary preparation, design process, tool selection, and prototype testing.

Preliminary preparation

First, we need to identify the target user groups of the game interactive website, such as players, game developers, community managers, etc. Different user groups have different needs, and understanding these needs can help us design more targeted prototypes.

Then, study your competitors’ game interaction websites and understand their strengths and weaknesses, for example, the street fighter. Analyse their design style, user experience, and functional implementation and determine which features are the focus of the prototype to ensure that the design can meet the basic needs of users.

Reflection

The process of prototyping the game interactive website gave me a deeper understanding of interactive design. I learned how to translate user needs into specific designs and improve the user experience through continuous iteration and optimization. Despite the challenges, these experiences have made me more mature and accumulated valuable experience for future design work.

In my future work, I hope to continue to apply these learned skills and explore more innovative design methods. The design of the game interactive website is not only about visual effects and functional implementation, but also about how to create a pleasant and smooth user experience. This project made me deeply realize that every detail of the design has an important impact on the user experience, and the polishing and optimization of these details are the key to achieving an excellent user experience.
