Playtesting is a games user research (GUR) method used to evaluate design decisions based on feedback gathered from players with the goal to improve player experiences (PX). HCI games research has been actively working on and promoting best practices in GUR. However, these practices often require resources, knowledge and expertise, which are not readily available for indie video games developers. Thus, to better understand how GUR can support these developers, we conducted an interview study with 13 indie games professionals to learn about their practices and the challenges they face when doing playtesting. We report on the key findings from this study, including challenges with finding appropriate participants and handling the data from playtests. We provide a discussion of how existing GUR practices can be adapted and what HCI games research can do to help mitigate these challenges to make playtesting more accessible and impactful to indie video games developers.

“…Recently, researchers have started embedding questionnaires in Virtual Environments to limit the negative effects caused by their administration post-immersion questionnaires [6,7]. Moreover, there have been attempts to integrate questionnaires directly into the VR experience as game elements, as research has shown that game-like questionnaires can increase presence as well as enjoyment [44]. In a recent study, Saeed Safikhani et al have investigated different designs for implementing questionnaires in VR.…”

Recent studies in Virtual Reality highlighted the importance of avoiding Breaks inPresence that occur when experiment participants alternate between the virtualand physical environment to fill in questionnaires or interact with the evaluator.In this paper, we report on a within-groups experiment comparing threemeans of communication between the evaluator and the immersed participantsin user studies in VR: Voice-Speaker, Video-Screen, and a 3D-Avatar. Immersedparticipants (N=38) completed three sets of tasks and were observed and theninterviewed through these three methods successively. Our findings reveal nosignificant difference in user performance between the methods. There were, however,significant differences in how they were perceived by the participants, withVideo-Screen, considered the most effective communication method. In contrast,the 3D-Avatar was the most “fun” and the users’ “favorite”, along with the Video-Screen. The Voice-Speaker was thought to be the least distracting yet impersonal,and least favorite.

“…Although these ways of presenting questionnaires have been used for a long time and are well-developed for user needs, the immersive features of VR may not be compatible with them. Recent studies show that when the subject of the questionnaire is related to a feature of experience that can be interrupted by exiting the environment (e.g., perception of presence), implementing the questionnaire inside the environment can lead to better consistency and reliability of the results [9,15,18] as well as an increase in motivation, engagement, and presence of participants [19,20].…”

Previous research demonstrates that the interruption of immersive experiences may lead to a bias in the results of questionnaires. Thus, the traditional way of presenting questionnaires, paper-based or web-based, may not be compatible with evaluating VR experiences. Recent research has shown the positive impact of embedding questionnaires contextually into the virtual environment. However, a comprehensive overview of the available VR questionnaire solutions is currently missing. Furthermore, no clear taxonomy exists for these different solutions in the literature. To address this, we present a literature review of VR questionnaire user interfaces (UI) following PRISMA guidelines. Our search returned 1.109 initial results, which were screened for eligibility, resulting in a corpus of 25 papers. This paper contributes to HCI and games research with a literature review of embedded questionnaires in VR, discussing the advantages and disadvantages and introducing a taxonomy of in-VR questionnaire UIs.
