Yes. We conduct thorough laboratory tests of the game at each production stage – from alpha version through RC and Early Access – to let the developer and/or the publisher know what is not quite right about the game. What is off-putting, boring or distracting; what confuses, frustrates or annoy gamers. Our tests also cover tutorials and FTUE – as regards general gameplay and specific analyses, e.g. UI.
If you’ve already identified your target market and described the audience to sell your game to, the answer simple – yes, of course. If your commercialisation plans, however, are not clearly defined or very preliminary, we will work with you on a market strategy for the game – from identification of the product through the brand foundations – and only then move on to assess the commercial potential.
