1 Play games

One of the best ways to learn about game UX design is to play games yourself. Playing games can expose you to different genres, mechanics, interfaces, and styles that can inspire and challenge your own design thinking. You can also analyze how games communicate their goals, rules, feedback, and emotions to the players, and what makes them fun, immersive, and memorable. Try to play a variety of games, both new and old, popular and niche, and across different platforms and devices.

Next time you dive into a new game, challenge yourself – skip the settings, ignore the tutorial, and just jump straight into the action. Pay attention to where you hit a snag. It's like collecting secret insights into what makes or breaks a player's experience. This little exercise is like gathering a treasure trove of ideas for your own designs. And hey, let's talk about the ultimate goal in game UX – creating an experience so intuitive that players learn as they play, no tutorial needed. It's like finding a unicorn in the gaming world; rare, but absolutely magical. When you do stumble across a game like this, you'll be amazed at how seamlessly you can immerse yourself in its world. That, my friends, is the sweet spot we're all aiming for

Incorporating the acquired knowledge through the design of personal game projects or UX elements provides an opportunity to experiment with contemporary trends and obtain valuable feedback. An iterative design approach is of paramount importance in comprehending how UX principles are applicable in practical contexts, as it involves continuous refinement based on testing and feedback.

First of all you have to select the market segment you want to conquer. Study the segment norms and cultural values. Then discuss your findings with the experts. Experiment with your design with selective audience. After good confidence apply your design to the complete segment.
