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.

In this talk, Alex Camilleri will present and explore games that provide unique ideas and show singular cultural traits through game mechanics and narratives. Spanning from small experimental games to bigger productions, the aim of this talk is to show how valuable it can be to create games that challenge and enrich the player’s understanding of the world.
Alex Camilleri is an Italian game designer currently living in Malmö, Sweden. After experimenting with the game medium and following the release of the autobiographical game Memoir En Code: Reissue, Alex decided it was time to change gear. He now makes scary stuff at Frictional Games as a gameplay designer and programmer, but still finds time to make small interactive experiences.
What makes people want to play games? What keeps them interested in play games?
Michael John, Senior Creative Director from Electronic Arts, held a lecture on how game industries have sought to answer these questions through game design.
To celebrate Digital Learning Day at Tygarts Valley Middle and High School, Globaloria students invited friends to join them in class, learnt about computer science, game design and coding, and brainstormed ideas for the upcoming games to build.
On November 27 2019, game designer Pietro Polsinelli led a workshop on merging storytelling principles and game design tools for the students of the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University. The workshop took place at Cascina Moncucco during GAME CONTEXTS, one of the Program’s core courses. It was also open to all alumni of the M.A. Program.
When defining the narrative of a game, even at the concept level, it is useful to write down short characters bios, articulate the game's background universe, outline the possible endings and so on. Writing a sample dialogue or textual introduction can reveal several hidden or undefined features required and how they should interact with the game mechanics. Polsinelli will illustrate the development of the recent Football Drama, and how that process was expanded for his next project, Roller Drama concept design, pointing out some specific concepts needed when making narratives and mechanics interact. Students will work together with Pietro to add narrative background research and mechanics to their projects.
Pietro Polsinelli is a game designer and developer, mostly working on applied (a.k.a. educational) games. He co-authored a book on applied games in Italian and is currently writing a book on applied games (in English) titled Explaining With Games.
