Celia Hodent is a French author and former director of user experience at Epic Games. Born in France, she earned her doctorate in psychology in Paris, hoping to become a professional academic. Her childhood love of video games, however, drew her to the games industry, and in 2008 she joined Ubisoft to work on the editorial team. In 2010 she transferred to Ubisoft Montreal to work as user experience coordinator on Rainbow 6 series using her training in cognitive science to help guide the design teams. In 2012 she moved to the US, working as UX lead at LucasArts, then as Director of UX at Epic Games, overseeing user experience on Fortnite.

Video games - Good? Bad? It Depends? No matter your current opinion of video games, I'm going to ask you to open your mind and consider that there is something of value to be learned from the research-backed way they are created.  In the same way that coaches creatively craft an experience to build buy-in with their athletes, UX (user experience) is an art and a mindset.  It is a mindset that requires you to shift your perspective to that of your users (athletes), because what each individual experiences happens in their own mind. Easier said than done.  As Dr. Celia Hodent explains, “It's not because you're aware of your own biases that you can control them - and that's just not possible because by definition, they are implicit.” So how do we do it?  In addition to explaining the secrets behind shifting our perspectives to that of our audience, she also unveils What one question you should be asking when creating a product or service (24:30) How to debunk the notion that video games are “bad” (29:30) How to distinguish between ethical and unethical marketing and design ( 43:00) Strategies to help your business not fall victim to its vices (1:00:00)   Dr. Celia Hodent holds a PhD in psychology and has over ten years experience in the development of user experience (UX) strategy in the entertainment industry, and more specifically with video game studios through her work at Ubisoft, LucasArts, and as Director of UX at Epic Games (Fortnite).  She currently leads an independent UX consultancy, working with a wide range of international media and enterprise companies. Celia is the author of:  The Gamer's Brain: How Neuroscience and UX can Impact Video Game Design (2017)  The Psychology of Video Games (2020)  What UX Really Is: Introducing a Mindset to Great Experiences (2021)  Co-editor: Game Usability: Advice from the Experts for Advancing UX Strategy and Practice in Videogames (2022)  Connect with Celia:  Twitter: @CeliaHodent Blog: celiahodent.com As always, we want to make sure we thank our sponsors for their continued support.  In addition to Dynamic Fitness & Strength and HōM-GRōN, we are excited to introduce another company who believes in our mission and wants to help us achieve our vision of changing the world when it matters most - Helix.

When people point out sexism in games and game culture, the classic suggested prescription is that game companies need to hire more women.  The idea is that more women in game companies will bring a voice to call out sexist aspects of games, and bring a greater demand to protect female players from a somewhat toxic gaming culture.  Women make up about half of players, so why are there still so few women working in video games?  An important part of the problem is how sexism can creep into the hiring process even when game companies try to just hire the best qualified candidates.  We discuss this issue with our very first guest, Celia Hodent – user-experience  (UX) designer, writer and speaker.  Dr. Hodent has a PHD in psychology, and has worked for Ubisoft, Lucas Arts and Epic Games.  She's the author of “the Gamer's Brain” and “The Psychology of Games” and has excellent webinar about how our implicit biases hinder our efforts to make our industry more diverse.

On GDC Podcast episode 8 we have CELIA HODENT, a user experience consultant, psychology PhD, and author who'll get us LEARNED about cognitive science, UX, and how our brains process something as complex as a video game.

As the former Director of User experience at Epic Games, Celia worked on Fortnite, one of the most successful video games in history, with more than 78 million active players. Her mission was to understand how our brain works, how it learns, and what its main limitations are, in order to improve the video gamers' experiences.   Here, she shares the different steps of her creative process, including the way to build a climate of trust to interact efficiently with the video games's creators. Speaking of designing a better user's experience, are we being manipulated? It’s time to listen to her.  

A fantastic guest joins me on the podcast to discuss her career and the role of a UX designer. Celia is one of the most respected in her field, as well as doing a lot of talks worldwide.

Paul chats with Dr. Celia Hodent about strategic design and gaming. Dr. Hodent has a Ph.D. in psychology and over ten years of experience in the development of UX strategy and processes in videogame studios, working, for example, on Fortnite as Director of UX at Epic Games, at LucasArts (e.g. Star Wars: 1313), and at Ubisoft (e.g. Rainbow 6 franchise). Dr. Hodent is an author of The Gamer's Brain: How Neuroscience and UX can Impact Video Game Design.

User experience is an under-appreciated but crucial aspect of modern technology and software — particularly in the field of video games, which have to introduce complex ideas without intimidating players. In this week’s podcast, Chris is joined by UX Director, Celia Hodent, who put her PhD in psychology, specialized in cognitive development, to good use in helping create Fortnite.  Celia explains how user experience helped make military aircraft safer and how it’s been a fundamental part of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros. Using examples from casual titles such as Candy Crush to the notoriously tricky Dark Souls, Celia explains how games teach skills and use interaction to build worlds and reward behavior. She also gives excellent reasons why kids shouldn’t play games outside of their age rating, and why culture is more important than gender when it comes to game design. Whether you’re a gamer or not, you’ll undoubtedly come away from this podcast with a new perspective on the design of just about everything.

Basic psychological phenomena like memory, perception, and emotions have huge implications for the design of products or experiences, from nutritional labels to phone apps to voting registration forms to video games. And people who study those kinds of user experiences need to be aware of some of the very basic ways that squishy human brains can be expected to operate as they set out to test and measure how people interact with their products and make sense of their media. If they don't take those things into account, they lose one of their most important guideposts to improving user experiences and helping the designers or directors of the world execute on their visions.These are the kinds of things I'll be talking about with this episode's guest expert, Dr. Celia Hodent. We will also talk about the challenges and pleasures of being a user experience consultant, and we'll even talk a little about the runaway success of Fortnite: Battle Royale.

User Experience ("UX" for short) is one of those disciplines in the gaming industry often tied to psychology. And given how it's interested in understanding and quantifying the experiences of the people who play video games, interact with hardware, and navigate through menus, it's easy to see how an understanding of attention, perception, cognition, mental heuristics, learning, and memory can help UX researchers do their jobs.In this episode I talk to Celia Hodent, the Director of User Experience at Epic Games and a psychology Ph.D. Hodent and her team help Epic make sure that its customers have the experiences that its game designers envision, and in this podcast she explains how an understanding of psychology, knowledge of research methods, and experience in data management help her do that. She also shares some advice for anyone interested in getting into this line of work.Thanks also to Caryn Vainio, who set the stage for what UX is and why it matters.
