In 2006, Nintendo released the RPG Mother 3 exclusively in Japan. It gained a considerable following in the U.S., and recently, a team of creatives made a fan tribute site for a reimagined re-release. The fan tribute is super cool with updated graphics, but they never designed an updated UI. I set out to create a modern UI for the game to address the pain points from the original game.

Research

I don't play video games that often. Awkward. So when I was tasjed with redesigning one, I felt incompetent. So, I did what you do to learn about the domain. Research. I researched what kinds of games are in right now, what people value in a game, and the pain points they currently have with them.

My task was to redesign two screens: the fight menu and the inventory. Two of the main topics I researched were what makes a good inventory and fight menu in video games overall.

Showcase

Thanks for viewing so far! Below you will see my final designs and can access my Figma prototype if you're interested in playing around with it.
