Play together

The only way forward.

As soon as you can, play your game as a team as often as possible. If you cannot play it everyday, try to play it together a couple times a week.

If your game is meant to be played with a controller and not everyone has one, make sure it also supports mouse and keyboard so that everyone on your team can play. (the end product can focus on controllers only, but enabling everyone on your team to play is a must).

After each play session, everyone shares feedback on things they liked and things they felt weren’t working. As a team, this lets you act on the feedback and iterate on what really matters in your game.

Be sure to have someone write down the feedback and share it with the team, so it can be consulted again.
