Overview

Designed the primary merchant interface that cleanly divides player currency spend between luck-based Gacha rolls and deterministic stat Upgrades.

Problem

Design Challenge

Consolidating multiple progression systems into one NPC without creating a confusing, multi-tabbed monster menu.

Process

01
Split intent into two clear pillars
Divided the interface into two bold, distinct cards (Blue for Gacha, Green for Upgrades) with representative iconography.
02
Shopping bag header badge
Crafted a 3D-styled shopping bag vector anchor to give the NPC modal clear thematic identity.
03
Immediate call-to-actions
Gave each portal high-visibility typography and glowing interior borders for quick touch selection.

Solution

A streamlined two-choice gateway that reduces decision fatigue and speeds up in-game economy interactions.

Outcome

Players instantly recognize where to spend in-game currency based on their immediate progression goals.

A transparent roll system featuring normal & premium rolls, explicit odds breakdown, and bulk purchasing.
