GatorRealm

About the Project

GatorRealm is a character creation application for an imaginary "GatorRealm" MMORPG. My primary roles were overseeing presentation and the character select screen; through both of these, I spent a lot of time working on the intricacies of making a user interface in Unity feel satisfying to use. As the main project of the Human-Computer Interaction course, my group elected to make a character creator; part of the assignment was to create 2 versions of the project with a significant UX difference and compare how testers felt about each.

GatorRealm Orange Version is our first version. We chose to make our significant difference the way in which the player assigns their character a personality; Orange Version presents the player with an immersive quiz about how the created character would respond to different situations, and then assigns personality traits like whether the character is more courageous or cautious based on those responses. GatorRealm Blue Version is our second version; it lets the player control the personality sliders directly, allowing them to have more control over what their character is like at a potential cost to immersion.
