Listen "Episode 124 - The CMU Playtesting Study"
Episode Synopsis
Recorded at Metatopia 2016.
Presented by Judeth Oden Choi, Jessica Hammer.
Presentation of our findings from a two-year long study of playtesting practices and education. As we build and refine our games, sometimes it's hard to hold onto those brilliant ideas and goals that first inspired us. Playtesting with a purpose is about articulating design and experience goals for your game and using playtests to help refine those goals and express them more fully in game play. We will invite participants to try out some of our methods and open up for discussion of playtesting practices.
