The cockpit’s heads-up display (HUD) demonstrates how this played out. The initial designs were clean, but testers reported they seemed impersonal and disconnected from the physical cockpit. Players wanted the data to feel like part of the ship. We took note and reworked key HUD parts to look like holographic projections emanating from specific consoles, featuring faint scan lines. This rendered the interface appear integrated into the ship’s tech. Audio feedback produced a comparable result. Players discovered some warning sounds too harsh and jarring, which disrupted the immersion. We substituted them for a more subtle, escalating set of tones.
