Diseño de UI/UX y creación de animaciones 3D en “Qhapac Ñan: El Camino del Chasqui”, videojuego educativo y cultural para niños de 8 a 12 años.

Abstract

UI/UX design is essential in video games, as are animations. The characteristics of both the interface and the interactive experience provided to the user help define a video game’s impact and personality—key factors in its success. These components aim to foster intuitive navigation within the player’s experience, an aspect considered fundamental in the video game market and among players. This project focuses on the design of animations and UI/UX for the video game “Qhapac Ñan: El camino del Chasqui,” an educational game aimed at children aged 8 to 12. As such, it focuses on maintaining the players’ interest and creating a visual environment that encourages exploration and optimal viewing during gameplay, serving as a bridge between excitement and education. The result is a dynamic and visually intuitive interface that fosters interaction and engagement among players, as demonstrated in playtesting with 20 participants, 100% of whom were able to navigate the menu and game freely and intuitively.
