If you are building a Mixed Reality app, you need to see this thread. MR is an edge case nightmare. Meta doesn't know how to properly test it yet, and if you don't know this, you will get 1 star reviews. Here are the top edge cases I had to deal with building @pillowsocial 👇
It's finally here! Audio Description, Screen Reader, and Captions are in the wild! We also added a number of other accessibility features - Mono Audio, High Contrast Outlines, Motion Sensor Aiming, ability to disable the Touch Pad in Combat, and more!

Our eighth annual Salary Survey needs your input. If you work in games research, player data, accessibility or games UX, we'd like to hear from you. Each year the survey provides salary & quality-of-life information. Please contribute. Participate here: gamesursalarysurvey.com
In her #GDC17 talk, Deborah Hendersen, then Sr. User Research Engineer @Xbox, demystified user research for designers, stressing the need to understand design principles, ensure fairness in testing, and foster effective collaboration for impactful, high-quality outcomes. #gamesUR
There's twenty one new presentations now available on our YouTube channel! All the sessions from our 2023 event are now online, including talks from @UbisoftMTL, @riotgames, @Xbox and more! • youtube.com/watch?v=1c7mbI… #gamesUR

There are two ways players can “rate” a game - evaluating their experience with what’s actually there, and evaluating the experience against their expectations. Both are interesting data points, but are very *different* data and contribute to very different discussions. #gamesur

Senior URs would like more private communications with peers and that is difficult to have on a public forum like Discord. This can be at conflict with the spirit of the SIG. - John Hopson #GamesUR
Curious to see the calculator that utilizes all this data? You can see the estimated salary for a #GamesUR role based on experience, title, and educational background here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
When mismatches in accessibility occur, players still make efforts to realign their experience - most often in areas related to enablement and challenge - Jozef Kulik #GamesUR
An accessibility report is similar to a usability report, but the issues identified also include the interactions with accessibility features or options. - Jozef Kulik #GamesUR
Check out results from this NewZoo study which shows in the US & UK ~30% of gamers have a disability. But accessibility benefits even more than that! It's simply a good business decision. #GamesUR
If you do not intentionally design to include a group, you are going to exclude them. Instead of asking about ROI, ask whether you are ok with intentionally excluding a group. - James Berg #GamesUR

If you want feedback from me and my perspective as a hiring manager, I stay active on the @GamesUR Discord server engaging with job hopefuls and answering questions for people trying to break in.
In her #GDC17 talk, Deborah Hendersen, then Sr. User Research Engineer @Xbox, demystified user research for designers, stressing the need to understand design principles, ensure fairness in testing, and foster effective collaboration for impactful, high-quality outcomes. #gamesUR
New on YouTube: How Design Can Ensure Impartial Scientific Fairness in User Research youtu.be/3_0XKYNWK8A
Excellent talk from James! Not only the content, but also the excellent delivery. I wish I was able to present as confidently. Happy to see my former family (#GamesUR) considering #a11y more and more over the years, thanks to amazing speakers like James!
Woot! My talk at #GamesUR - Accessibility: Practical Advice for Working with Dev, is now live. This focuses less on accessible gameplay, and more about talking to devs during that process - their considerations, POV, and challenges. Consultants, QA, whomever - I hope it helps!
Very excited to be accepting @Bungie’s first ever accessibility award with Games for Change! It’s a slow process sometimes, infinitely more so once a game already hits the market, but it’s one we are so proud to continue and support! 🫶🏻
@Zoroarts_Dev small heads up. Testing a game to look for bugs is called QA (Quality Assurance). Playtesting instead means having a player sit down and engage a core game loop, mechanic, level, etc. usually to determine if your feature is viable, how it can be improved, etc.
What effects might required RTO and forced hybrid scenarios be having, not just for #GamesUR but for broader games industry & tech? Real talk answer about how clear it is that RTO is a soft-layoff that will result in our industries losing serious talent.
If you're not already following, recommend you do. Nikki is currently tweeting from a #GamesUR summit and if you're interested in game design 'best practices' style convos - there are several good threads x.com/gaiazelle
General #GamesUR Summit musing: for future years, can we please have some standards for minimum font sizes & readability on our presentations? 😭 I'm sitting right in front of a projector and these slides are impossible to read. I can't imagine what the back of the room is like.
Hey look, it’s @JamesBergCanada! 🔥 #gamesUR
Learnings: - just the conversations from this can be valuable! - It can help at different dev stages & benefits from being updated at key milestones. - it doesn't have to be a formal process. - It can be a solo exercise to help research, but collaboration is better. #GamesUR
I get a few more hours in Seattle to hang out at the GamesUR Summit and then I head back to Texas this afternoon. It has been so energizing to be able to meet so many GUR people in person!
@queenofthedilly giving the keynote at #gamesursummit #gamesur
The #gamesUR Summit 2023 has just begun! I'm pretty excited about all the awesome sessions, and of course to step on the big (virtual) GUR stage for the first time myself :)
We have a slight update to the schedule, and a new location where it now lives on the website, see here: gamesurconf.com/us/2023-schedu… Available in both image format and plain text
If you remember nothing else from this talk... Most issues creatives have with research is (primarily) lack of psychological safety, which is hard to build and easy to destroy! #GamesUR
Really enjoying #GamesUR so far! Some great insights right now about how to effectively communicate research results and manage psychological safety.
