Playtesting sessions are integrated into game development cycles. However, conducting these sessions is not always feasible or affordable for smaller independent game studios, as they often require specialised equipment and expertise.
In this Lunch and Learn, I provide guidelines and discuss approaches used to build an effective playtesting setup and a playtester recruitment database to help game developers optimize the player experience for their titles. You will:
– Get practical guidelines for conducting formal playtesting sessions.
– Learn how to build a low budget playtesting lab and a playtester recruitment database.
– See examples of playtesting reports to communicate findings with your development team.
