Designing Outstanding and Functional HUDs in Video Games: Expert Guide
Designing Outstanding and Functional HUDs in Video Games: Expert Guide
Why HUD Design Is Crucial for Modern Games
When gamers discuss their favorite titles, the focus often falls on gripping narratives, cutting-edge graphics, or captivating soundtracks. Rarely does the conversation touch upon the heads-up display (HUD) and user interface (UI) — yet these elements are vital. A great HUD disappears into the background, guiding players smoothly through complex systems without drawing attention to itself. Crafting such a system is a delicate art, blending clarity, visual style, and usability.
At SunStrike Studios, we know that the right HUD can make or break the player experience. Our team specializes in designing functional, beautiful HUDs tailored to any genre or art style, from sleek sci-fi interfaces to atmospheric fantasy overlays. In this guide, we’ll cover the principles of effective HUD design, review standout examples, and explain how professional art outsourcing can elevate your game’s UI.

What Is a HUD and Why Does It Matter?
A heads-up display (HUD) is an interface layer superimposed on the game screen, relaying essential gameplay information — like health, stamina, inventory, objectives, score, minimap, and more. Whether a player is exploring a hostile world, fighting off enemies, or solving intricate puzzles, the HUD is their primary reference point for quick, actionable data.
Removing the HUD entirely is rare, but some titles do so to heighten immersion or challenge. However, most modern games rely on HUDs to ensure players aren’t lost or frustrated. Think of the HUD as the dashboard of a car: invisible when designed well, but you’d miss it instantly if it were gone.

Balancing Realism and Accessibility
Some developers strive for hyper-realism, stripping away classic HUD elements to draw players deeper into the game world. But even the most immersive titles need to balance realism with playability. One method is to use a diegetic interface, which incorporates the HUD directly into the game environment and narrative. For example, a health bar might be a glowing strip on the character’s suit, or an ammo count may appear as a digital display on a weapon.
Games like Dead Space and the Metro series are celebrated for using diegetic elements, enhancing atmosphere while maintaining usability.
HUD Inspiration: Memorable Designs from Iconic Games
1. Metroid Prime
The HUD in Metroid Prime is designed to mimic the view from inside Samus Aran’s helmet visor. Vital info — such as ammo, radar, and health — appears as if projected on the glass, immersing players in the sci-fi world while offering practical utility. The design blurs the line between UI and narrative, making information feel like part of the suit.

2. Persona 5
Persona 5’s HUD stands out immediately with its vivid combination of red, black, and white, featuring dynamic, eye-catching menus. Its look is as memorable as the gameplay itself, yet it never sacrifices clarity for style. Every icon, bar, and button serves a purpose, reinforcing the game’s identity.

3. Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 moves away from traditional overlays. When driving, the player pulls out a physical map or GPS device — no floating icons, just immersive, in-world navigation. This creative solution demonstrates how HUD elements can be contextual rather than ever-present.

4. Cruelty Squad
While intentionally unsettling, Cruelty Squad’s HUD proves that even unconventional and experimental design can be both functional and unforgettable. Amidst chaos and surreal visuals, vital stats remain clear, showing that practicality always comes first.

5. Metro Series
In the Metro games, information is relayed through the protagonist’s wristwatch and in-world gadgets, minimizing intrusive on-screen overlays. This subtle approach fits the grim, immersive world and makes the HUD feel natural.

Principles of Effective HUD Design
1. Visibility and Readability
A HUD’s primary job is to make information visible at a glance. Fast-paced games, in particular, demand clear indicators for health, ammo, or skills. Use distinct icons, strong contrasts, and logical layouts. At SunStrike Studios, we use playtesting and expert UI/UX reviews to guarantee that key information is never missed, no matter the platform.
2. Organizing Information by Importance
Since not all information holds the same priority, place vital elements like health and objectives in the player’s main line of sight. Less critical data can be hidden in menus or displayed contextually as needed. Structuring information this way keeps the HUD streamlined and user-friendly.
3. Minimalism vs. Information Overload
Less is often more. Avoid cluttering the screen with unnecessary indicators. Show players only what they need at any given moment. Features like contextual hints, fading icons, and toggleable panels can streamline the experience and keep the focus on gameplay.
4. Visual Consistency
The HUD’s design should reflect the overall atmosphere and aesthetic of your game. For example, a horror title might feature grungy textures and subdued lighting, whereas a sports game benefits from sharp lines and bright, easily readable visuals. Maintaining uniform fonts, color schemes, and shapes throughout helps establish a strong brand identity and makes your interface stand out.
5. Accessibility and Customization
Modern games must cater to a wide variety of players. Options for scaling, colorblind modes, and toggling specific elements make your game more inclusive.
6. Testing and Iteration
Designing a great HUD is an ongoing process. Prototyping, A/B testing, and player feedback are essential steps. What works in concept may need adjusting in practice. Rapid iteration allows you to find the optimal balance between form and function.

Advanced HUD Techniques: Beyond the Basics
1. Diegetic and Semi-Diegetic Elements
As seen in Dead Space or Metroid Prime, diegetic interfaces blur the boundaries between HUD and world. Semi-diegetic elements, such as weapon ammo counters displayed on the gun, add depth without breaking immersion. This approach is especially popular in VR, horror, and sci-fi genres.
2. Adaptive and Contextual HUDs
Modern engines allow for adaptive UIs — HUD elements that appear or change depending on context. For example, stealth indicators might only show when you’re hidden, or quest objectives fade away once you reach your destination. This keeps the screen clean and reduces information fatigue.
3. Animations and Feedback
Subtle animations can highlight changes (like flashing low health bars) or draw attention to critical updates. Responsive UI gives players instant feedback for their actions, increasing satisfaction and usability.
4. Avoiding Common HUD Pitfalls
• Over-complication: Don’t overload players with too many bars, numbers, or icons.
• Inconsistent design: Do not introduce discrepancies in color palettes, font choices, or icon designs between screens.
• Neglecting accessibility: Always include options for different needs — scaling, colors, contrast, etc.
• Poor placement: Place vital info where players naturally look — usually the edges or corners, not the center.
• Lack of testing: Playtest across devices and with a variety of users for best results.
The Role of Art Outsourcing in Game HUD Design
Designing a HUD that is both beautiful and functional often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Outsourcing to an experienced studio like SunStrike Studios offers many advantages:
• Specialized Talent: Our team includes UI/UX designers, 2D/3D artists, animators, and technical artists.
• Efficient Workflow: We iterate quickly with regular feedback cycles, ensuring your vision is realized and refined.
• Cost Effectiveness: Outsourcing gives you access to top talent without the overhead of expanding your in-house team.
• Full-Service Offering: Beyond HUDs, we provide full game art pipelines, concept art, animation, VFX, and QA services.
