Improve The Player Experience with a Responsive UI - Akamai Gaming Masterclass by @GameEonIndiaGames
Experience tells us that slow game downloads and poor in-game connectivity drive users away. As a result, we focus on download speeds when we discuss performance. However, nearly all modern games have a web UI component for social functions, high scores, and account management. The performance of this part of the application is often overlooked, but just as crucial for customer retention. Join this session as we discuss how to measure and improve the performance of the key microservices that are vital for delivering a consistent player experience.
Topics include:
How to measure web page performance (are we really talking about “web pages” here? As in the site that you download from? Or are you considering key services within the application “web pages?” If so, I think we need to change the terminology. If the first important thing we say we’re talking about in this list is “web pages” we’re going to lose our audience)
Industry-standard metrics for user experience
The relationship between performance and load-balancing
