The Team and Roles
Our team comprised five members with diverse expertise. 2D Artist who worked on the visual design. Programmer focused on the app’s backend. UX Designers (including me) iterated on designs based on team feedback, refined the game mechanics, and ensured an enjoyable user experience.
THE PROCESS
Research
We conducted interviews with fellow participants who were both gamers and language learners. Insights from these interviews led to the creation of Anna, a persona representing our ideal user. We identified pain points such as the monotony of traditional learning and the desire for interactive methods.
Design and Prototyping
Inspired by Duolingo’s story-based approach, we brainstormed a multiplayer element for the game. We sketched, wireframed, and created a prototype using Figma, focusing on intuitive and engaging user flow.
Language Loot features adventure stories where players guess missing words based on context, with options to play in various languages.
