One of the key problems that I had seen when I worked on GameOS in the past is the way that users were informed of updates to their system. In our discord, many of our users asked about when the next update would be coming in and the only time they would know it was available is if they were told directly. This set up the design problem I wanted to solve:

"As a user, I want to know when an update for my system is available."

​​​​

The solution space was clear - GameOS has a popup system for communicating information to the user. So, I created a variant of our preexisting popups that clearly communicated that information. One of the most important pieces for me since I was interacting within an established design framework was ensuring stylistic consistency. So I collaborated with the lead designer as I worked on it to ensure that it was up to specifications.

This was shipped as a part of a live update to the SuiPlay Ox1 and other GameOS devices. 

An inconsistency with GameOS that I had identified was that the external providers that we use - Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG - require a  confirmation prompt before the user is logged out. Yet the logout process for their Playtron account lacked that same safeguard. Which formed this design problem: "As a user, I don't want a single incorrect input to require me to sign in again."

 

This was something I identified through my QA testing work while working on designs - an example of how my testing background informs my design decisions. I adopted the same modal that we used for unlinking accounts, and applied it to the Playtron account logout flow. This was also included as a part of the live update 1.2.1.0 and is visible on the SuiPlay 0x1 and other GameOS devices.
