Hi lovely people!

My name is Rachel, and I just finished an internship in UX Research. I dream of working in the games industry in the future and would be thrilled to be part of one of your projects!

What can a user researcher do for your game?

Understand what your audience generally thinks of your game
Identify pain points in your game
Confirm a feature works well for players
See what about your game can be improved

Nearly all big game studios (Activision, Playstation, EA, Ubisoft, etc.) conduct user research to make sure their games are top-tier, and I'm here to help! Willing to work, paid or unpaid.

If you have any projects that I can be part of, don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi Rachel,

It's great to hear about your interest in working in the games industry and your expertise in UX research. Our team is currently working on a 2D platformer game as a hobby project, and we would love to have you on board to help with user research.

Your skills in understanding what our audience thinks of the game and identifying pain points would be extremely valuable to us. We are all big fans of games ourselves, and we aim to create a great final experience for anyone who would play our game.

Since this is a hobby project, we are currently working on it in our spare time, and we may not be able to offer you paid work. However, we would love to work with you and share any profits we may make from the game fairly and justly.

If you are interested in working with us, please let me know and we can discuss the details further. We primarily use Discord for communication, so let me know if that works for you.

Thank you for reading all of this, and we look forward to potentially working together!
