I used to hate saying "FTUE" (first-time user experience) (pronounced "fih-TOO-ee") and would avoid it in favor of being specific about aspects of player onboarding (tutorial, UI, etc.). Then a dev playtester was like "I love 'FTUE' because 'fatui' means 'fool' in Latin. And players are fools."

I find fascinating that I must have watched countless talks about how much onboarding and FTUE is important for mobile games yet every top earner I played is exactly like this

FTUE being First Time User Experience

I forget not everyone speaks live service dev ><

Which also everyone: PUT SOME REAL ELBOW GREASE INTO YOUR FTUE. That's where you capture and keep your players. Find your least game literate relative, hand them your game, and if you can mostly be hands off with them in the first hour or two of play? You win

New game design blog post, about mobile games this time! 📱

I always record my first session when I’m studying a mobile game, because the first-time user experience (FTUE) is crucial. Here’s why it’s important: buymeacoffee.com/lunajavier/m...

Just finished building a proper FTUE for my Godot 4 game, Impious.
In this devlog I go through the full system: tutorial design, crafting, trading, shrine interactions and a UX overhaul.
Hope you find it interesting. Cheers!

First Time User Experience: The 60 Seconds That Decide If Your Player Stays.

Adrian Wüst of Steer Studios and I collaborated to break down. I handled the PC/ Console side of FTUE while he covered mobile FTUE.

Adrian's Article is here lnkd.in/dunu2bzY

First Time User Experience: The 60 Seconds That Decide If Your Player Stays.
The first 60 seconds in a game are the most critical experience for a player. Capturing their attention within this time is the difference between a good and bad game

Short and sweet Highguard impressions
Short and sweet Highguard impressions so far: - Fantastically nostalgic FTUE - I wish the zipline was faster but holy damn is it satisfying for some reason - The vibes is if Warframe mission had an existential crisis and perused the local bar and had a passionate yet slightly weird menage tois with Titanfall and Overwatch and was raised by League of Legends ------ I dig it. - Being able to swoop in on a mount and being able to control the battle is wildly addictive. Overall, I found it to my tastes. It scratches a lot of that itch that Overwatch back in the day used to fill. The fantasy edge makes it feel intriguing without distracting. A fun game to add to your rotation to have a chill night with a friend group and shooting the shit. Interested in getting better and eventually getting that W Massive congrats to the entire team. What a wild, catapulted ride to launch but you did the thing and that's pretty heckin' neat.

Do you still think onboarding is about learning how to play the game?

The pandemic allowed me to witness my husband working, and I got to know him much better.

A 4-panel comic. I'm working at my computer, and my husband is working at his in my back. He's in a zoom meeting for work. I hear him talk: "Yeah, there's a better design pattern than the state machine for this. There was a bug in the back-end with the for loop. These FTUE JIRA tasks should be prioritized for our KPIs." I think "Why does this sound so sexy"

In a previous job, I said something in what I thought was fairly neutral terms regarding a design mechanic and was chastised for being too blunt and hurting people’s feelings. What I wanted was a FTUE and I described my user experience being unable to cope with unfamiliar inputs.

So, I've just been laid off from Wargaming. After 3 years on WoT:HEAT (mostly the only one), I'm looking for work as senior narrative designer/game writer who can develop and deliver from the narrative bible to dialogue systems and FTUE. DM me, refer me, share 💪

Avant dernier jour de stream sur Twitch pour la #GMTKJam, c'est parti !

Hier soir, dans un élan de fièvre délirante, le T-word a été prononcé ("tutoriel"), on va essayer d'avoir une FTUE qui soit pas éclatée au sol cette fois-ci !

Why does everything have to be a souls like? I just wanted to play control resonant and have a normal time of things and its just why does every fucking game now have to have a souls boss at the very start.

The boss does nothing. It's completely thrown me out of the FTUE and made me feel awful.
