Gamification: The Magic Behind Great UX - Javier Vicente
Gamification Session with Javier Vicente Herrera
Join us tomorrow for an in-depth session on gamification led by Javier Vicente Herrera, Product Designer (UX & UI) and Gamification Expert.
Javier will start by sharing his background and experience, followed by a deep dive into the power of gamification, why it often feels intimidating, and how motivational design, especially intrinsic motivation, can transform user experiences.
We’ll walk through the key steps to build a successful and engaging onboarding process:
Understanding your users through models like RAMP, HEXAD, and insights from Andrzej Marczewski
Designing with your player in mind using tools such as the Periodic Table of Gamification Elements and the Gamification Inspiration Cards Toolkit
Aligning player needs with your business goals
Testing, gathering feedback, and iterating
Javier will also present a detailed onboarding analysis of Hogwarts Legacy, including:
The flow of the experience
Game elements used in the onboarding
How storytelling enhances engagement
The balance between player goals and business goals
As a bonus, he’ll break down how Pokémon Legends: Z-A disrupted its own flow during onboarding and what we can learn from it.
