CENTRED GAME DEVELOPMENT
by Alessandro Canossa
PERSONAS IN GAME DESIGN
22. As a 2D artist,
I want to quickly
decorate the level
according to the artistic
vision of the game
I create 2D art based on
my concept art. I work in
Photoshop and import
the sprites to Unity.
As a 2D level designer,
I want to quickly create
a 2D level, which I can
modify and tweak.
First, I sketch the level
layout, then I create it. I
tweak and refine to
create the right level
design.
29. THINK ALOUD TESTS
Observe the user
solving tasks.
Thinking out loud:
“I’m looking for a
button to click but I
only see text.”
30. • The angle ranges are complicated to set up
• It’s difficult to change points from curve to linear
USABILITY ISSUES
OTHER ISSUES
• No snapping
31. DOS
• Listen
• Ask questions:
“Why do you think it is that way?”
“How would you expect it to be?”
• Be patient
• Say:“We’re testing the system, not you.”
32. DON’TS
• Don’t invite your mom or friend to test
• Ask leading questions:“Is it good?”
• Help too much
• Create an unsolvable task
• Judge
