Placement of UX (user experience)

 Video games

For video games it's of the upmost importance to place the UX elements to the left, to the top, anyway away from the actual play space unless it's an important detail of info.

An example of an important design detail like Cappy running out of steam before he has to return; he has it where for the ones where he's on the Scarecrow there is an audio UX design that's to tell the player "hurry up!" while the visual one would be the fact of slowing down on spinning and creating no particle effects before he pulls back.

That diegetic design should be aimed at but is not needed at all times. The info being tucked away in a non-important area being the key part with the placement of it should be on a black void, somewhere it won't intrude on the player's gameplay unless it's something that's important but must be the least intrusive as possible and give the most amount of info as possible.

An example of this extreme case would be Breath of the Wild where you're climbing, gliding, etc. The change of colors and creating a simple UX element is what allows it to work for the given game at hand with the important info being told to the player still.

How to sneak in more diegetic design?

Look at Megaman X and the buster mechanic, have visually pleasing, easy to read info that fits within the world of the game. The buster being charged up you notice from hearing it rev up, the visual info changing as it does so.

Psychological manipulation #2 Big numbers

 This is a fine balancing act for players but the goal of the matter is to keep going for the big numbers and keep the big numbers with them getting bigger, and bigger then you get the picture. With this not only having one set of numbers get bigger but having the other numbers get bigger as well. You need some form of system to keep the players wanting the numbers to get bigger. For idle clicker games you use the reset system to get the player coming back; with the MMORPG system you scale down those numbers in updates so you can keep numbers getting bigger or use the shared power system for the players to use. Personally I like using an XP reset system; once the XP hits max for the level, the XP subtracts from the XP cost bringing it down to 0 and as thus allowing that big number of XP to still feel big. Then you might be asking about the player leveling up which there is always the COD reset level system where once the level hits a big enough number you have it where the progress...

Power Creep

 Power creep can be both a good and a bad thing. With power creep you have it where players are being fed more powerful items or cards where they ditch old equipment for the new toys and make it so players will actually use it. On that same note you're trading the learning the items/ understanding how to make oneself more powerful through strats by relying on your given powerful new toys and making players throw them away again once more toys do show up. It's a useful investment strat for card games but does get boring for games where the only thing you have to look forward to is bigger more powerful numbers instead of different strats/ tactics you've never seen or used before with the bigger numbers feeling meaningless. Person experience; with Yu-Gi-Oh playing the rogue format was more fun even if I lost because I wasn't losing to the FTK format and actually scaled down in power with having fun seeing different strats/ tactics, that the limitations that were self impos...

Deck Size matters

 Small decks These kind of games make it where the game is being given a more consistent/ predictable strategy. The outcome being much more predictable but having it where players are dealing with mill and burn strats far too often making them busted. Large decks These kind of games make mill/ burn strats basically useless but have less reliance on consistent drawing what you want; however in a game where search abilities exist with the more search power the more options that open up and remove the down side of having a larger deck becomes.
