Welcome to this study on player research and playtesting challenges.

Background

Player research (a.k.a. games user research) aims to improve the player experience by guiding design decisions with target audience insights.
However, effective research is often challenging for indies due to limited resources.

Our mission is to make player research and more accessible for indies.
Based on the survey results, we will develop solutions to help you overcome the struggles you and other indies face.

Your benefits

Upon participation, we'll invite you to

• test upcoming prototypes that assist you in getting better player insights
• connect with fellow indies interested in learning about player research

What to expect

• The survey is estimated to be completed in 15 minutes.
• You're gonna be asked mainly about your personal experiences and needs concerning player research
• You can skip questions or withdraw from the survey any time. The more details you provide the better we can cater to your needs.
• You can pause and save your progress by clicking on Resume later in the top-right corner any time

Privacy policy

• Your encrypted responses will be used for academic purposes, treated confidentially, and can be changed or removed on request.
• Any resulting publications may only feature anonymized answers
