Hi, I'm Harvey. I'm a User Researcher at
Player Research.
As a User Researcher, our goal is to help the Designers and the Developers of games
make sure that their intent is actualised in the players'
experience.
I guess most of all I enjoy the variety of the games that we get to work on, different genres and platforms
and we can bring clients in and make
sure that they're seeing the player
experience, so they can tailor the way
they create the game to the players that
they're making it for.
I was doing my Master's and I briefly came across this thing called 'user research' that I could
then apply to the games that I was already playing and start thinking about them like that.
The main thing is when you're playing through games to
think like a Researcher, try and have
that critical eye on usability and
understanding.
