Game Starter Game User Research

Hamburg is not only a hotspot for the development of computer games, but also for numerous vocational schools and universities that offer courses specifically for future professionals in the games industry. For students and career starters, the exchange with experts in the games industry is essential in order to know the requirements in the individual disciplines and to prepare for them. To intensify this exchange, Gamecity Hamburg offers the event format Game Starter.

For the eleventh installment of Game Starter on September 20, we're looking at "Game User Research". Industry experts will report on their careers, their jobs and answer the participant’s questions. They will talk about their day to day work, their experiences in the games industry and things they would have liked to know at the beginning of their careers.
