Daravath Saathvik, Interaction and game designer
I design games and interactive experiences, with a focus on free-to-play. I'm doing my M.Des in Digital Game Design at NID, and my marketing background means I think about who a game is for from day one.

How I work
From the first idea to the people it's for.
Idea
I start from a feeling or a question, and write the whole design down before I build.
Make
I build playable prototypes in Unity, then keep reworking them until they feel right.
Test
I put it in front of players early and change it based on what they do.
Understand
I look at the numbers and at who actually plays, to work out who it is for.
Launch
With paid ads and creative testing, I help it reach the people it is for.
