The Development Pipeline

Our production line follows a strict protocol to ensure visual consistency across thousands of device configurations. We don't just design screens; we engineer interaction patterns that scale.

  • Concept & Wireframing Rapid prototyping of core loops using vector primitives.
  • High-Fidelity Visuals Pixel-perfect assets optimized for Retina displays.
  • Engine Integration (Unity/Unreal) Exporting atlases and implementing via UXML/UMG.
  • QA & Device Matrix Testing touch targets and contrast ratios on 50+ devices.
  • App Store Optimization Iconography and preview video graphics generation.

Why This Matters

In the mobile market, a 0.5-second delay in response time correlates directly with a 15% drop in retention. Our pipeline eliminates these friction points through rigorous motion design principles.

Based in London, Designing for the World

Our team operates at the intersection of art and engineering. We are a collective of technical artists, UI engineers, and UX researchers who share a singular obsession: making mobile interfaces feel alive. Living in a city defined by constant innovation, we apply that same energy to every pixel we push. We believe that great mobile game design isn't just about how it looks, but how it guides the player through a journey of discovery and mastery. From the first sketch to the final build, we maintain a standard of precision that turns casual players into dedicated fans.

tiplita.com Field Guide: Mobile UI Principles

Core Decision Criteria

When evaluating a mobile game interface, we look for three distinct markers of quality. These are the benchmarks we use internally to assess whether a design is ready for production.

  • 1. The "Thumb Zone" Ergonomics Critical interaction points (primary actions, inventory, navigation) must sit within the natural arc of the user's thumb. If a player has to shift their grip to tap "Attack," the design has failed.
  • 2. Motion with Purpose Animation must explain state changes. A button that glows implies "active." A menu that slides in implies hierarchy. We avoid motion that exists purely for decoration; every millisecond of animation serves an instructional purpose.
  • 3. Information Density High-stakes moments (combat, transaction) require low visual noise. Quiet moments (inventory, map) can carry higher density. Contextual density adjustment is the hallmark of elite mobile design.

Myths, Facts & Glossary

MYTH

"Dark mode is always better for battery and visibility."

FACT: While dark mode saves battery on OLED screens, it reduces contrast in direct sunlight. A robust design offers a "High Contrast" toggle that adjusts pure blacks to dark grays for outdoor visibility.
KEY TERMS
Fitts' Law: Time to target based on distance and size.
Cognitive Load: Mental effort required to process UI.
Safe Area: Region clear of notches/home indicators.
Haptic Feedback: Tactile confirmation of interactions.
Common Mistake to Avoid

Inconsistent Touch Targets: Mixing 44px and 58px buttons in the same view confuses muscle memory. Always standardize primary actions to at least 48px height for reliable touch accuracy.

Signals of Trust & Quality

100%+
Pixel Accuracy

Assets match engineering specs within 0.1px tolerance.

60fps
Motion Standard

All UI animations optimized for 60fps target on mid-range devices.

50+
Device Matrix

Tested on screen sizes from iPhone SE to 12.9" tablets.

Scenario: The "High Stakes" Transaction

"We worked with a partner where a 'Buy Coins' button was hidden below the fold. By applying our Field Guide principles, we moved the CTA to the 'Thumb Zone' and added a micro-animation that pulsed during the game's 'loot' phase. The result was a 22% reduction in support tickets regarding 'missing currency' because the flow became obvious, not opaque."
