About Vertical Slice
Vertical Slice emerged from research in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Sussex. Based in Brighton, our focus is to make our client's games better by understanding and improving the interaction between the game and the player.
People
Our staff have worked in industry as both professional video game developers and user experience consultants. In conjunction with our user evaluation process, this experience helps us to ensure that we understand the gameplay experience from the three key viewpoints of the developer, player and user experience professional.
Approach
Being research-led, we are continually driven to improve the methods used to assess the user experience of current and next-generation video games. We not only use state-of-the-art techniques to evaluate the game interaction, but we also design and verify new methods in our dedicated studios.
Results
We work with our clients to involve users throughout the game development cycle, from pitch to release. This helps to ensure that our client's games are constantly focussed on delivering outstanding gameplay.
