Well, Gamescom was a blast! Elliott Beattie and I had some really productive meetings across the days we were there, ate some good food, drank some lovely beer. Some of the things that seemed to be coming up across a few of the conversations we had: - De-risking development is something that's hot on everyone's minds right now, understandably. Deepening your audience understanding, making bets safer through careful research, and building long-term relationships with research teams all go a long way to help mitigate some of these risks. This all starts with identifying a strong research strategy - what are we making, who are we making it for, where are the potential failure points, where can we resource our research efforts to that? Answering these and conducting the right research at the right time can help ensure key decisions are being made in an informed, deliberate way. It's also a lot cheaper to course correct at the earlier stages than trying to do it later. Player Research can support here! - Taking research questions global. Through Keywords Studios we're able to conduct in-person research across the world, delivering insights on players in various regions - their habits, motivations, likes, dislikes, wants, needs, hopes, dreams (ok maybe not the last two). This cross-cultural research can be a game changer when releasing a title in an unfamiliar region. This was definitely something that a number of our existing (and hopefully future!) clients are keen to explore. - Accessibility! Since launching our Advancing Accessibility service just before Gamescom last year, it was heartening to hear the topic coming up organically this time around. There seems to be an increasingly mature conversation here too - folks we spoke to are keen to design for accessibility, and are implementing things much earlier in development (when it's cheaper to do so!) We're super excited to be able to continue supporting accessibility efforts in studios around the world - There's also been a lot of appetite, and opportunity, for pulling various Keywords services together to support clients in a more holistic (sorry) way. We're fortunate to be able to easily and seamlessly work with 70+ incredible studios doing all sorts of things - with experts in pretty much every domain you can think of. From conversations we've had, being able to bring various services under one banner, with key people being dedicated to finding solutions, is a hugely valuable thing The inimitable Abbas Hassan-hussein 🔜 XDS will be at XDS next week - get in touch to chat to him about how Player Research can help support with delivering you high quality player insights to support your development. #gamedev #UXResearch #accessibility #gamescom #xds #UserTesting #gamedevelopment #Playtesting #UserExperience #gamesuserresearch

Here is why you need to offer player support directly within your game! ❎ Expecting players to remain invested and engaged in your game months or even years after its release is unrealistic if you require them to leave the game for email-based support. ✅ On the other hand, providing solutions directly within the game helps retain your players and maximise their engagement. ✅ In-app support preserves account information and device/version metadata—details that are often lost through traditional support channels. ✅ You’ll speed up resolution times, as issues can either be fully resolved through automation or much of the work, like account validation, can be frontloaded before reaching a support agent. ✅ Your product team will appreciate the richer feedback and bug reporting opportunities that in-game support provides. And the list goes on... Read our latest blog post to find out more: https://loom.ly/KhUeGaQ #PlayerExperience

"Working with an External Developer is too hard and takes too long to set up." This is something we hear a lot! And yes, External Development *can* become messy to a point where your expectations don't align at all with the reality. We have good news though: it doesn't have to be this way. After having gone through the process of being onboarded by a new video game developer or publisher many (many!) times, we truly believe that your typical speed bumps can be easily mitigated. How? Let's chat at #XDS2024! Book a meeting here: https://loom.ly/dixUX24 #XDS #XDS24 #ExternalDevelopmentSummit #XDsummit

What are the top benefits of virtual production for video game marketers? 1️⃣ Find time and cost efficiencies: Virtual production replaces on-location sets, allowing you to "easily spin through five locations in one day. [...] But it’s not just the negligible travel time that makes virtual production more efficient. The sophisticated technology and pre-production visual effects reduce the post-production budget too." 2️⃣ Unlock endless creative possibilities: By building environments in Unreal, you can create absolutely anything and nail the exact demands of your brief - from changing a single mountain range in the background to quickly re-arranging the entire layout of a city. 3️⃣ Create more diverse and authentic content: Creatively, virtual production removes a lot of barriers. “We can represent not just different people but different places, cultures, and atmospheres, allowing us to create global content that’s noticeably more inclusive in an affordable and efficient way.” Our latest blog post is a deep dive into virtual production; the specialist software and skills required; and what might come next for Keywords Studios. Be sure to check it out and connect with our marketing teams at Big Farmer and Maverick Media if you're looking for alternatives to on-location shoots and green screens: https://loom.ly/xT7JaUs #CreativeProduction #GameMarketing
