Day 5: Texturing
Brief: to design a video game set on a desert island, to include a building and signage.
This is my final storyboard showing the gameplay of the video game. I chose a puzzle theme.
Most of the images were traced from photos found online or in catalogues. They were then coloured with marker pens and reduced in size to make the colours more intense.
The cover of the video game can be seen at the bottom.

Games User Research: How to avoid the designer's facepalm
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.
