Q?Box Round Answers

TIPS and ADVICE

We covered quite a bit today. Could you list 3 suggestions or tips you would recommend to indie devs based on our discussion?

  1. Focus on intrinsic motivation to create user engagement and therefore retention! I like to refer to the Self-determination Theory. Build all your features in accordance to this, and avoid extrinsic incentives that undermine intrinsic motivation.
  2. The strongest and most engaging game features are worthless, if your players can’t access them! Accessibility is key and extremely underrated.
  3. Measure! Retention and engagement metrics are key to understand were your players drop out, and your data often lead to more useful conclusions than just asking your audience.
