Game Concept Validation

Concept validation involves testing the game's core idea, design and mechanics with a target group of players. This early feedback helps determine if the game resonates with its intended audience and informs decisions on further development, ensuring the game's concept has the potential for success and aligns with player expectations.

Essentially, the study acts as a foundational step in creating a game that is not only creatively fulfilling but also market-ready and player-centric.

Before the study begins, we ensure all players sign the NDAs, utilizing either our standard templates or any that you provide. Additionally, you have the option for further layer of security through ID verification (applicable for a small group of players). 

In case of testing a game build concept, our SDK can also be automatically integrated to control when the game can be launched and have player ID watermarking in all sessions.
