Backpack inventory

recorded by “let’s STFU and Play of The Gallery – Episode 1: Call of the Starseed

With a backpack inventory, users add items into their backpack by dropping the items behind their head into the backpack. Accessing the backpack is as easy as pulling it over from behind their head.

Strengths:

Intuitive and natural gestures to perform

Not too obtrusive to the gameplay experience

Similar to real-life – adding items to the backpack is quick, grabbing and searching for things take longer

Weaknesses

Grabbing and searching for items can become tedious and time consuming

Low discoverability – Although it’s easy and natural to perform, the concept itself can be tough to teach a new user
