Mobile game design: Reimagining a classic for modern players

Curious how a classic gameplay can be reimagined for modern players using today’s tools and design thinking?

On April 16, 6 PM, at DevPlant Cowork, we meet again for our next IxDF Meetup.

Seats are limited, please register on Luma: https://luma.com/30f4xnxz

Join Cristiana as she walks us through her experience designing a mobile game inspired by the classic Frogger, using her UX, illustration and animation skills.

From onboarding flows to dealing with a different set of constraints specific to game design, this session dives into what works (and what doesn’t) when applying UX principles to game design.

Our Speaker

Cristiana is a UX Designer at Visma with a background in architecture. In parallel, she worked on a mobile game project where she blended UX, illustration and animation. Passionate about gamification and storytelling, she's bringing structure and creativity together to craft engaging, player-centred experiences.

You’ll experience

  • A clearer understanding of how UX applies to game design

  • Practical insights on onboarding players and shaping learning curves

  • Real examples of game design decisions under constraints

  • Networking, exchanging ideas, new opportunities, or simply reconnecting with the local UX community

Schedule

  • Event starts: 18:30

Questions? We've Got Answers

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.

IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.

You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.

You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.

Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.

Some examples of what you'll find:

  • Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A

  • Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects

  • Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together

  • Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback

  • Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading

Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.

What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

Yes, absolutely!

Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.

IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.

You'll fit right in regardless of your background.

Get a Place To Belong.
Meet the Right People

In a world that's getting more artificial and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back, so you never have to face the job market alone.

Learn together, get mentored, find your next job, and build friendships that grow your career.
