Playtest

Playtest is a phase for designers where they engage throughout their design process to get an insight of reaching their objective of the game. It allows designers to get valuable feedback from the testers which might assist in amending the all over exposure and quality of the game.

Playtests are the most important aspect which a designer engages in, but it is also the one that designers have the hardest time understanding. A playtest is to see if the game the designer has designed meets the experience goals for the players, it gives insight to how the game would be played when the game designer is not present of the players playing the game. Playtesting is used to see how the players interact with the game and how they feel about the different aspects so that things can be improved before being marketed to the public.
