MY ROLE as User Experience Designer
This game was crafted during my enrollment in the Game Design and Development Master’s program at Aalto University. Collaborating with a team of five individuals, we embraced various roles to enhance the project. My primary focus revolved around crafting user experiences for gameplay. A significant aspect of my role entailed designing tutorials to introduce players to the game mechanics. The refinement of these tutorials stemmed from numerous play-testing sessions and feedback interactions.
