I am an Encounter & Experience Designer
My process starts with Planning, where I research my emulation targets and target audience.
Next, I do rapid Prototyping: getting a Minimum Viable Product so I can playtest and get feedback.
Finally, my iterating focuses on addressing feedback, guidance, player rewards, and tutorialization.
