Overview
As both a dedicated gamer and UX designer, I am motivated to solve issues that disrupt gameplay and immersion. In redesigning the UI for Palia, I focused on a key challenge: navigation. The current interface separates essential elements like the compass and time-of-day indicators, which increases cognitive load and interrupts the player experience.
To solve this, I designed a unified minimap that combines the compass, day-night cycle, and map into one dynamic visual element. This approach simplifies navigation, improves accessibility, and strengthens player immersion.

Design Rationale
Reduced Cognitive Load: Merging information into one place decreases the mental effort required to understand in-game context.
Improved Flow: A cohesive UI helps players make decisions quickly and stay focused on gameplay.
Greater Immersion: A minimap that visually reflects the in-game time creates a more engaging experience.
