Context

Genshin Impact is an open world gacha game playable on both PC, console, and mobile devices. Players can summon playable units and create teams to explore and complete challenges throughout the world!

Because of the vast gameplay nature of the game, there’s a few quality of life additions that we can work towards to elevate the player experience!

Solutions

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ QOL buttons to quicken the gameplay experience!

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ As Genshin continues to include new gameplay content, the switching of weapons
and artifacts are becoming increasingly important for different content.

Artifacts Screen

Challenges

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Players (especially new) don't know what artifacts to equip
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Difficult to switch between different sets (longer term players)

References

I explored several games that have a feature of saved loadouts/items:

Infinity Nikki (Saved Custom Looks)
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Drop down menu
Team Fight Tactics (Team Planner)
╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Scrollable saved loadout

Flow Chart

We will expand the player flow so that older players can quicken the artifact process to adapt to various situations. For newer players, expanding the artifact flow will get them into the routine faster to catch up with older players.

Hi-Fi Prototype

As A Result. . .

I've implemented a new artifacts loadout button so users can create a customized loadout to adapt to various situations-- perfect for the expanded world of Genshin Impact!

Personal Insights & Reflections

There's an abundance of ways to elevate the player experience-- especially in a content-rich game like Genshin Impact. The artifacts system as a whole is an ecosystem in itself that requires even more invesitgating and can possibly be driven by player-data.I would love to explore more player-data driven designs and reflect that into the artifacts loadout proposal. As different gameplay and features are explored in Genshin Impact, players needs to be able to switch to differnt equipment and loadouts to prepare for their battles. But if players are unable to know which or quickly do so while mid-combat, it can hinder the player experience.Let's make it even easier for players to adapt to different combat easier!

What will it do for our players and business?

Provide a new stream of revenue and sense of achievement.

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Mounts have a purpose of either being locked behind: payment or earned achievements

Easily add QOL features for players as gameplay experiences increase.

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ Mounts not only serve as cosmetics and achievements to show to other players, but attaining one's with buffs will overall help players as new features and experiences continue to be added to the game.

As A Result. . .

I've explored a new mount system that not only helps create a new stream of revenue, but also help and excite our player to explore the world of Genshin Impact!

Personal Insights & Reflections

There's a few things that need to be considered when trying to balance the mount system between paid and achievement based rewards. While the aim is to help add another stream of revenue, the mounts also need to have a purpose for players to seek them out. Mounts are based on the assumption that players need help exploring the world and that they like the looks of them. I think it's a bit hard to discern at the moment what might be the difference between having a mount system versus a pet system instead-- and which would be a better feature.Furthermore, the feature does require even more insight on when it should be introduced into a new player's experience. However, I still do believe there's a lot of potential with this idea-- as it's being introduced in character utility talents (Mavuika). If players are unable to claim characters who have mobility talents like Mavuika, what are other alternatives players can achieve such? Or should this remain as a luxury?The mount system requires a whole ecosystem that needs to be further explored.

Context

Call of Duty Mobile is a FPS game on mobile devices. This project will explore an analysis on Day 1 retention where I will analyze the first 16 minutes of gameplay and propose solutions to help with early gameplay experiences.

What's Happening?

Most features are defined for FTUE and allow players with instant, clear, and rewarding feedback. However, there are key features that lack clearer detail that could impact Day 1 experiences. What I want to improve are important features such as: weapon loadout/utility & scorestreaking.

Retention Strategy | Retention Evaluation | Engagement Evaluation

Current Problems

Current tutorial is great at getting players started with basics, however there is missing details about important features like scorestreaks and weapon loadout. These can still be taught to the players without overwhelming players.

Explored Solutions

Scorestreak
Include a further repeat tutorial to explain other scorestreaking items and equipping them.

Weapon Loadouts
Further tutorial on loadout items like attachemnts, optics, and grenades.

Issue 1: Scorestreaking

Scorestreaking tutorial lacks clarity leaving players unknown or excited about the feature during gameplay.

Current Retention Evaluation

Current Learning Strategy

✔ Teaches players what is a Scorestreak and how to use it.

X Lacks further clarity and desirability of Scorestreak feature as it is presented once during tutorial.

Current Engagement Strategy

Reminder: players accumulate points and is signaled when ready for activation, however player must reach a number of points before being able to

Routine: players can see how to complete Scorestreaks and how to activate it

Reward: feedback is clear, instant, and rewarding.

Proposed Improvements

Solutions

Add a further Scorestreak experience tutorial during second gameplay where they can either equip or use a different scorestreak item.This encourages users to not only be more comfortable with scorestreaking with repetition, but also expose them to a new variety of scorestreak items so that they may seek how to further unlock more.

Impact

Repeition and exposure of scorestraking should show increased impact in:
- gameplay engagement (#of sessions and length of sessions)
- scorestreaking activation per session
- scorestreak item purchases

Issue 2: Weapon Loadouts

Current weapon loadout tutorial lacks explanation for other important utility.

Current Retention Evaluation

Current Learning Strategy

✔ Shows how to customize your loadout and where to find it.

X Lacks information about what other important utility does like attachements and grenades.

Current Engagement Strategy

Reminder: accessible button on main screen as well as before a game

Routine: players customize their loadout based on their accumulated utility items, they must earn them first

Reward: feedback is clear and instant, but reward is dependent on whether player achieved their outcome

Proposed Improvements

Solutions

Add further tutorial having players equip a new loadout including a grenade.This shows and excites users of what a new and improved loadout feels like to eliminate their enemies faster. This also covers missing coverage of utility like grenades.

Impact

Exposure of attachments and utility in the game should show increased impact in:
- weapon loadout purchases
- increased number of gameplay sessions to try out different equipment

Conclusions

It is important that Call of Duty Mobile players are able to swiftly eliminate their enemies, so they can improve to earn more rewards and achievements.

Key Issues

1. Scorestreaking tutorial lacks clarity leaving players unknown or excited about the feature during gameplay.

2. Current weapon loadout tutorial lacks explanation for other important utility.

Solutions

- Introducing a reformatted onboarding system that while makes the tutorial a bit longer, will help hone in the player experience to have more clarity on key features to the game.
- Helps new players be more exposed and adapted to features that will quicken their gameplay experience.
