Games User Research is the definitive guide to methods and practices
of usability and game user experience (UX) research and design.
Games User Research is how we optimise the quality of UX in games, working
with all aspects of a game from the mechanics and interface, visuals and art,
interaction and progression, making sure every game element works in concert
and supports the game s UX. As the interactive entertainment industry has
grown rapidly, user research methods are evolving constantly, responding
to new technologies, modes of play, business models and changing markets.
Today, Games User Research stands as the primary pathway to understanding
players and how to design, build, and launch video games that are commercially
successful because they provide engaging experiences for their players.
Until now, the knowledge in Games User Research and game UX has been
fragmented and no comprehensive, authoritative resources were available. This
book bridges the current gap of knowledge, building the go-to resource for
everyone working with players and games or other interactive
entertainment products.
In this book, dozens of leading professionals share their wisdom and best
practices on how to plan user research, obtain actionable insights from users,
conduct user-centred testing and use it to generate game design improvements.
The book is for everyone working with games or other interactive entertainment
products and for students and professionals seeking additional expertise or
advice to start working in the game development industry.
