Poker: Throwables
UX/IXD
'Throwables' are a visual way of conveying emotions and interactions between players.
‘Throwables’ are a poker feature where players can throw items between eachother within the game. Amongst other things, they enhance player interaction and can convey disdain, shock, happiness and luck amongst other emotions
The challenge
The challenge is to create animating items on screen where the parameters extend beyond placement and positioning, into time, trajectory and inertia.
Delivering well timed animations which are quick and snappy while being received by the player is a challenge. To add, these communications will be triggered while gameplay is taking place, so consideration of protected areas on the screen is also necessary along with rigorous AB testing to establish timing, design, and mechanics of each animation
All in all for MPV 4 throws have been implemented and 22 throws were created and are currently in the product backlog
