Game Developers Conference 2019 (hereafter, GDC 2019) is the first day of the North American Time March 18, 2019, BETHESDA Game Studios (hereinafter, BETHESDA) is developing an RPG for smartphones "the Elder Scrolls: Blades" (iOS / Android, THE Following TES Blades) session on the Theme "Building the Interface Of ' the Elder Scrolls: Blades ' in Landscape and Portrait"was done. Mr. Marie Jasmin , who was in charge of the session, is RESPONSIBLE for UI design in this work.

The content of the session is intended to explain the user interface (UI) design of TES Blades to developers, such as the content of the game itself, the timing of release, and whether it will be deployed for Japan, etc. It does not include topics that fans are concerned about. However, it was an interesting story in terms of the design of an RPG optimized for smartphones, so let's report it easily. For the contents of the game, please refer to the report article in E3 2018.

"The Elder Scrolls" new mobile App "The Elder Scrolls: Blades" , the latest series "The ELDER Scrolls VI" was officially Announced in E3 2018 B11 > We had been exhibiting at the trial. I have confirmed the basic operation, graphics, and battle, so let me introduce it here.

What is the RPG UI that is easy to play even if I have vertical or horizontal?

Examples of how to hold a game for smartphones 画像(006)［GDC 2019］スマホ向けTES，「The Elder Scrolls: Blades」のセッションレポート。横画面でダンジョン，縦画面で生産など，プレイの状況に応じて持ち方が変えられる Speaking of games for smartphones, most of what you see on either the vertical screen or the horizontal screen, the title can be played on the horizontal screen or the vertical screen is a minority. However, TES Blades has designed the UI as a game that can be played both vertically and horizontally, Jasmin said. TES Blades is basically a first-person game that moves in the lower left corner of the screen, and the lower-right camera operation, which employs a common operating system in FPS for smartphones. However, it is said that the necessary operation may change from the difference of the display area in the vertical screen and the horizontal screen.

The TES Blades moves in the lower left, and the camera is operated in the lower right. Because it is a common operation system, it seems to be able to operate without hesitation.

The left side screen, the right is an example of a vertical screen. The same bar and buttons are displayed on the screen, but the atmosphere of the game is quite different.

When I tested the version under development, there was a problem that the view was still narrow in the vertical screen. The following photo shows the same scene as a horizontal screen and a vertical screen, but it is understood that it is necessary to move the camera sideways to view the same range in the vertical screen.

Mr. Jasmin, "lateral screen state is excellent in immersive feeling" I described. A vertical screen might be thought that it might not need it, for example, it is said that the design of the vertical screen cannot be neglected to respond to the demand that it wants to play the game even in the state where only one hand can be used when moving by train and the bus. Naturally, if you develop a UI that can be used both horizontally and vertically, the amount of work in the design increases.

The UI development, which is easy to play both horizontally and vertically, is usually 20% of the total work that has increased to 60% of the study time (left). The right is a design example, showing the process of narrowing the elements to be displayed on the screen.

The User Experience ("UX") design team at TES Blades has been working on a UI design that is easy to play on both screens, but of course it wasn't easy. Especially, Jasmin said that the resolution of the display and the aspect ratio were various by the terminal in the problem. Moreover, there are a lot of variations of the display because the terminal which has "notch" which part of the screen is lacked recently has increased, too. After all, in the TES Blades, the aspect ratio is 16:9 in the case of the horizontal screen (* 9:16 If the vertical screen), and it was dealt with by widening the display area on a wider screen than it.

The aspect ratio variation of smartphones and tablets. Recently, the game developers have been scratching their heads because they've been getting a notch.

Interestingly, the player's action and play history were collected in the beta version of the limited release, and the horizontal screen state was able to confirm the tendency to play time longer than the vertical screen state. When you want to play with your hips carefully, the horizontal screen, the vertical screen is that you are playing in the gap time. If you think that the beta player is probably a lot of fans of the Elder Scrolls series, it is understandable that there will be many people who prefer to play on the side screen carefully.

Graph comparing the length of the play time with the vertical screen (Portrait) and the horizontal screen (Landscape). The vertical axis is play time, the horizontal axis indicates the time zone from 7:00 to 23:00. The play time of the horizontal screen is longer for any time zone.

When it is possible to play on a horizontal screen, there are a lot of people who use it like a quest, a vertical screen when it is production.

Also, when you are playing dungeon search and quests, there are many horizontal screens, and when you are doing something in the city, or when you are operating the menu in the production of items, it is said that there are many results that vertical screen. As for the difference of the play, Mr. Jasmin does not change the playing style on the vertical screen and the horizontal screen, and it is analyzed that there are a lot of players who change the way of holding according to the situation of the play.

At the present time, it is not announced about the service schedule Japan TES Blades, but it seems to be a title that seems to be able to enjoy if fans of the series, I hope to expand in Japan by all means
