[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Hi

[Billy Cain]

I'll bite. I lurk a lot too, Wendy... :)

Critical Mass Interactive provides this type of feedback to developers as a
service. We've worked on more than 175 games and I can tell you it is a huge
issue. 

My main concern is that many games are so bad that gamers are never going to
download another because there is no 'real' quality mark as far as a mobile
game goes... yet. Remember the old 'Nintendo Seal of Quality?' :)

Is there a particular type of feedback you are looking for or is this a
general plea for best practices?

Open for discussion!

To make things better is quite easy you just have to make the usability and
user experience more intuitive such as to reduce the learning curve. But
I've got no clue how to do that.

So I’m just guessing from the underwhelming lack of response, there’s not
much concern about usability and user experience in mobile games
.

I just wanted to introduce myself.  
 
 
 
I’ve been on the list lurking for a while. 
 
 
 
I’m a user interface designer who designs mobile applications and games. 
I’m interested in doing more game design, and would be interested in
speaking with developers who are interested in user interface design for
mobile and game design. I think that usability for mobile applications is
very important.  I’d be interested in hearing otherss thoughts on what they
do to improve the user experience and usability of their mobile games.
