After a few popular tweets (15 likes!) about UX design in games, I figured I’d write a few posts on the topic. Out of necessity I’ll have to keep it generic, and the games I use as examples should not be seen as good or bad, they’re just illustrations. Likewise, the examples I use as... Continue Reading →
