Minimap

Ludic View Structure view_count: simultaneous · anchoring: overseeing · consolidation: consolidated · monitor · handheld

A second, small view from above in a corner of the main view: it shows the surroundings, one’s own position and often where others are. The players look into two views at once.

Design question – When is the value label “Minimap” the right choice – and what experience does it create?

Reference example – Game examples: StarCraft · Grand Theft Auto V · League of Legends.
