We are three designers who’ve never made a video game.

1 pointsby hillelabout 12 years ago
Hi Hacker News.<p>We spend our days designing user experiences for other clients. And over the last several years we’ve come to the conclusion that designing a game is perhaps the greatest user experience challenge there is. It’s user experience design in its highest form.<p>Nobody needs a video game. Nobody must play a video game for work. Or to help their kids do their homework. Or to plan their party. A video game is strictly about making a connection with someone and feeding some part of their heart.<p>When we realized how hard it was, we knew we had no choice but to try and make one ourselves.<p>It’s called Carrot Crazy, it looks best on iPad, and Apple approved it over the weekend.<p>https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carrot-crazy/id634576180?mt=8<p>It’s derivative. It breaks no new ground. It’s is not in 3D. It has no social component. And it’s not designed to milk you for some in-app-currency that ultimately gets some tiny percentage of the users to pay us real money. Sorry.<p>But… it’s adorable and most importantly, from what we can tell, it makes you want to play it again and again until you get gold trophies for all 25 levels.<p>It’s free. For the first few days after launch.<p>Love for you to take a look at what three newbies are capable of creating.<p>Hillel, Jenny, and Holly
