What We Do

Expert Evaluations

All the services detailed below are conducted exclusively by experts in their respective fields, collectively referred to as "expert evaluations." Expert evaluations are frequently juxtaposed with end-user evaluations, wherein multiple potential end-users are enlisted to assist in evaluating potential issues within a given experience.

Key Advantages of Expert Evaluation

Efficiency

Experts require less time individually to identify, assess, and summarise potential issues.

Expert evaluations involve fewer individuals compared to end-user evaluations, resulting in lower costs.

Cost-Effectiveness

Precision

Experts can uncover issues that may elude users, even when a substantial number of users are involved.

While expert evaluations prove valuable in identifying and addressing potential issues, they should not be considered a replacement for testing games with individuals who possess the lived experiences targeted for support. Some of our staff members align with these lived experiences and can offer personal feedback in that regard. However, any aspects requiring further testing will be communicated accordingly.

Usability, in the realm of video games, pertains to the ease with which players can perform specific tasks. These tasks encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from accessing and using menus, to navigation of various gameplay elements.

Usability issues frequently result in frustrating and time-consuming experiences for players. In instances of severe usability issues, players may be compelled to abandon games altogether due to the extent of their dissatisfaction.

At Take A Mo, we offer the expertise to assess the user-friendliness of your game, ensuring that players can effortlessly navigate and engage with its features. The evaluation process takes into consideration both the duration required for task completion and the associated costs, which are contingent upon the number and complexity of tasks involved.

As well as identifying these issues, we can also help offer or design potential solutions. We can offer general considerations for building solutions to these issues, or offer detailed designs.

Onboarding, in the realm of video games, refers to the process of players learning and acclimatising to the game's controls, mechanics, goals, rules, strategies, and even language. The sections or parts of a video game dedicated to helping ease this process are often referred to as the tutorial.

Complex mechanics, obscure controls, and inadequate learning support in games can evoke frustration and overwhelm among players. If it is frustrating enough, it often becomes a key factor prompting players to discontinue the game, sometimes even in its early stages.

At Take A Mo, we are dedicated to elevating the onboarding process, making it a cornerstone of positive player experiences. If you seek a piece-wise or comprehensive evaluation of your game's onboarding, our team is ready to assist you in creating an immersive and user-friendly learning environment. This can include evaluating your existing tutorials and onboarding features as well as highlighting potential gaps in target audience and information.

In the context of video games, accessibility extends beyond enabling players with disabilities to participate; it also emphasizes providing all players the flexibility to engage with the game in their preferred manner.

Ignoring accessibility features and considerations in games can exclude a huge number of potential players from enjoying your game. In USA, people with disability account for 49 million people. In the EU, they account for 41 million people.

At Take A Mo, our expertise empowers us to pinpoint potential accessibility barriers, and we are eager to assist you in identifying and addressing them. We can highlight potential issues and barriers for visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

In the context of video games, representation refers to the portrayal and inclusion of diverse characters, identities, and experiences within the game's narrative, characters, and overall design.

At Take A Mo, we specialize in scrutinizing the narrative and gameplay elements of your games to identify and address potential issues related to representations of individuals from marginalized backgrounds. Our focus on authentic representation is informed by voices with pertinent lived experiences. We offer feedback specifically on mental health challenges (including depression, BPD, anxiety, and eating disorders), neurodiversity (Autism and ADHD), gender diversity (non-binary and MtF transgender), sexual diversity, and relational diversity.
