How to be a game UX designer
Follow the right people
I would follow Lennart Nacke. He's a professor in UX research and wrote a lot about UX in Games.
Show your passion
For me, as a hiring manager, I would want to see your experience (real work or side project) in games.
Here are some questions you should think about:
- How do I show my passion, experience, and interest in games and UX?
- What games companies are hiring juniors or interns?
- Which industry is a natural transition to the gaming industry?
Learn the foundation
In terms of skills, there is a lot of overlap. However, for UX game designers, they should have a solid foundation in:
- Game types, how they work, and the differences.
- Testing methods specific to gaming.
- Gamification and dark patterns.
