Weapon switch/pre-menu set.

How does the user interact with it?

Controls

What is controlled within it?

Weapon switching, equipment usage, grenades

How is the interface accessed?

In-game buttons. (utility belt)

Does the inventory suit the game?

Yes, because the game is fast paced and the inventory is easy to access quickly from the use of a button.

What do you think of the inventory and why?

I like the inventory because it is easy to used and not too detailed, weapons are easy to switch without the use of a menu or interface.

How may this influence your own design?

This could influence my design by adding quick-switch buttons to easily change items currently in my inventory such as health weapons and other equipment.

Shape based.

How does the user interact with the inventory?

Wii Remote sensor.

What is controlled within it?

Items (weapons, health, etc).

How is the interface accessed by the player?

buttons.

Does the inventory suit the gameplay?

Yes because each item in the game is shaped based and more common items such as ammo and health are smaller to carry more.

What do you think of the inventory and why?

I think the inventory can be rather annoying as it can be really inconvenient when the inventory is full.

How would this influence your design?

It would influence me to consider the way I set my design because the 'shape based' inventory can seem pre-historic and unreliable.

Does the inventory suit the gameplay?

Yes

What do you think of the inventory and why?

I think the inventory is really good because it suits the gameplay (post-apocalyptic, pre-war technology) and is really quick and simple to use.

How might this influence your design?

I think for my inventory design I will make a much simpler concept. Maybe only with items (no stats/quests).
