Video Games - Sci-Fi Mission Menu

I really enjoyed creating these designs. This is a weekend's worth of work on my part!

First was research; looking at how video game menus work, several quest logs and what goes into building them and different quest types. I also looked at different sci-fi games, comics, books and films as I wanted to make this menu sci-fi based.

Once this was done I could start ideation; wireframing initial ideas which helped me decide the approach to my final designs.

The next step was creating my final designs.

I decided on a cursor to navigate menus instead of highlighting each option, as a cursor allows the user to quickly select the area they want to explore and saves button presses.

Essentially the UI in this instance is a flow for a user selecting a mission approach and then the UI updating to show the user that the mission is active.

If you like this UI please leave a like and any feedback would be really appreciated as I'm always looking to improve!
