Initial Experience Consulting Information

We help make your games more approachable, social, engaging, effective, and fun. We work on games ranging from frivolous to serious, casual to hardcore, solitary to social, small indie to big budget, and analog to digital. We also help improve your entire user experience chain, from discovery (surfacing great content via social, community, and personalization efforts) through trial (creating instantly approachable and engaging experiences that drive purchase intent), purchase pipeline (reducing barriers to registration and checkout), and virality (communicating positive player experiences to the wider gaming community). We provide Usability and Playability consulting and Design Support for: - Core game play - Balance and progression - Social and community features - Tutorials and "learn-as-you-play" modes - UI and help text - Demos and trial versions - Serious (training, educational, and assessment) games - Web sites, widgets, and applications
