Episode Name:
Closing the Gap Between Your Vision and the Player Experience
Episode Description:
What makes perfect sense to a developer doesn’t always translate into the experience players expect. Turning a creative vision into something players understand and enjoy can introduce challenges that aren’t always obvious during development.
In this episode, we explore how indie developers can create meaningful progression, improve onboarding, and use player feedback to bridge the gap between their original vision and the experience players actually have.
