1 Understand the purpose

The first step to handle constructive criticism is to understand why you are getting it and what you want to achieve with it. Rapid prototyping evaluation is not about judging your skills or your vision, but about finding out what works and what doesn't in your game, and how you can make it better. You are not looking for praise or approval, but for honest and useful insights that can help you solve problems and improve your design.

If you want to handle feedback and criticism in the right way, the first step is lower or eliminate your ego. This doesn't mean that your opinions, vision or work is pointless, but it means that you need to be open to listen to someone else idea and perception of your work. The second step is understanding that the purpose of that feedback is to improve the situation which will lead to a better result in the end, so it's a win-win. Finally and this is the most important thing you need to shift they you see things. For example let's say that you prototyped 4 things, you get the feedback and 3 don't work, you might think: "I'm so bad" is actually the opposite you found one good thing, and proved that the other 3 things don't work

Criticism provides an angle to your design approach that you might have overlooked, and it is not a documentary on you at a personal level. Understanding the basis of the criticism and aligning its outcomes with the vision of the game is needed to deliver a successful prototype.

2 Choose the right feedback sources

The second step is to choose who you want to get feedback from and how you want to get it. Depending on your goals and your stage of development, you might want to get feedback from different sources, such as your peers, your mentors, your target audience, or your potential clients. You also need to decide how you want to collect feedback, such as through surveys, interviews, playtests, or analytics. You should choose the feedback sources that are most relevant and reliable for your project, and that can provide you with specific and actionable feedback.

Each game usually has a target audience. You have to listen to their feedback and ignore feedback that isn't from them. If you are making a hard game, let's say a souls like, bullet hell or something similar, you don't want feedback from casual players, most kids for example. The opposite is also true. If you're making, let's say, a match 3, you're not going to ask feedback for a player that hates mobile games. Know your audience and focus on them. You can't please everyone.

This is often under looked, you need to understand who is giving you feedback and from wich angle they are seeing the project - an investor might look the project from a profitability pov - an expert will probably confront the project with other things that they have seen in their career - a user will care only about it's feeling Etc As a metaphor you can think that each person is weir sunglasses with a colour tint and they see the world with that tint, knowing their background will reveal the tint, knowing the tint will help you understand better their feedback

3 Listen and ask questions

The third step is to listen to the feedback and ask questions to clarify and understand it better. You should not take feedback personally or defensively, but as an opportunity to learn and improve. You should not argue or justify your choices, but listen and acknowledge the feedback. You should also ask questions to get more details, examples, and suggestions from the feedback giver. You should try to understand the feedback giver's perspective, expectations, and preferences, and how they relate to your design goals.

Do not justify... This is something that many testers and expert highly dislike as it's a water of time for both parties, even if you think that the feedback is wrong you listen to it, then you might not follow it

4 Analyze and prioritize

The fourth step is to analyze the feedback and prioritize what you want to act on. You should not accept or reject feedback based on your emotions, but based on your logic and criteria. You should compare and contrast the feedback from different sources, and look for patterns, trends, and outliers. You should also evaluate the feedback based on its relevance, validity, feasibility, and impact. You should then prioritize the feedback that is most important and urgent for your design, and that can help you achieve your goals.

Prioritise high impact relevant feedback by discussing them with the team and stakeholders, and nudge features that aren't necessary at this point in time down the priority list for execution.

5 Implement and test

The fifth step is to implement the feedback and test the results. You should not implement feedback blindly or randomly, but with a clear plan and purpose. You should also not implement feedback without testing its effects, but with a method and a measure. You should define what changes you want to make, why you want to make them, and how you want to make them. You should also define how you will test the changes, what outcomes you expect, and how you will measure them.

6 Learn and iterate

The sixth step is to learn from the feedback and iterate on your design. You should not treat feedback as a final verdict or a fixed rule, but as a source of learning and improvement. You should also not stop getting feedback or prototyping, but continue the cycle of evaluation and iteration. You should reflect on what you learned from the feedback, what worked and what didn't, and what you can do better. You should also seek new feedback and new prototypes, and keep refining and enhancing your design.
