The design, implementation and reporting of surveys for playtests and live-service community response to support you game’s design.
Gameplay designed with your players in mind, including UI and control scheme design and implementation.
The removal of barriers to the creative vision of your game for as many people as possible, while empowering the intended experience.
“Sami and I worked on numerous research studies assessing unintended points of friction in the design of prototypes and early builds of games. Sami observed users interacting with various designs, and was quick to identify aspects in the designs that influenced users to behave the way they did. After identifying issues, Sami would work to have them fixed. Sami understood that design involves tangible human effort: the recommendations they made in reports and team presentations were feasible and sensible for the UX design team to implement.”
