You can budget for QA and testing. You can budget for fixing bugs. What you can't budget for is a player's first impression after they've already had a frustrating experience with your game. #IndieDev #GameQA10 Oct 2026 00:01 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxi6opqwbe2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/lourdes-localizes.bsky.social/post/3mxfo6cpada26With midterms finally over, I had the time to cover a part of Tokyo Game Show (better late than never!😋) Four points based on four demos: what made me keep playing, what confused me, what made me quit, and what made me wishlist!

With Tokyo Game Show starting today, I'll put that to the test. I'll be playing indie demos, keeping track of what makes me: - keep playing - get confused - quit - immediately wishlist Let's see what #TGS can teach us about demo design.18 Sep 2026 00:15 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvqv7hds4u2shttps://bsky.app/profile/lourdes-localizes.bsky.social/post/3mvo5p3xryo2uQA misconception: “If your community likes the game, your UX is working.” Community testing is valuable, but it comes with a built-in bias: they already know and care about your game. Your fans can tell you what they love. New players can tell you what they don't get. You need both. #UXQA16 Sep 2026 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvo5p3xryo2u
