Designers have to tell in advance how gamers will comprehend, feel and interact with their games in order to craft successful gaming experiences and avoid frustration, doubts or uncertainty. And since user testing is a powerful tool to verify designers' intents and predictions, Games User Research is a powerful ally. In this workshop, I will show how the science of user testing made your favorite games perfect and I will provide attendees with takeaways they can use to improve their own projects.

WHEN MARIO MEETS RABBIDS
How a little studio in Milano convinced Ubisoft and Nintendo that developing a turn based strategy mashup between the Super Mario characters and the Rabbids was a good idea. And how Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle became a surprise hit with both the public and the critics. The definitive feel good game development story.
Andrea Babich is Lead Narrative Designer for Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle at Ubisoft Italy. With Fabio Bortolotti, he hosts the leading Italian retrogaming Twitch channel. Moreover, he's a chiptune composer and an occasional ROM modder. Andrea received his B.A. in Communication Sciences at the University of Bologna with a Thesis on retrogaming. Before joining Ubisoft, he worked for almost a decade as a video game journalist. He is the author of the first academic book on Nintendo's most famous character, I mondi di Super Mario: Azioni, Interazioni & Esplorazioni (Ludologica, 2003) published in Italy. Babich lives and works in Milan.
