Nope, this is not a post about violence in videogames, sorry. I’m going to tell you a very short story that happens today in the gym.

I was doing some chest work, and a machine used to do some kind of exercise was very close to the bank where I was, and that make me a little uncomfortable so I ask to the guy in the machine to move a little so both can work better. The guy, who was resting between series, stands and moves the machine and sits again without say a word.

He moves the machine as I say, but was very distant. So, what’s wrong with the way this guy proceeded? I tell you:

He give me NO FEEDBACK at all!.

And that’s rude!

It was inevitable for me to relate this with videogames. Imagine Mario Bros without emitting a single sound when he get’s a coin or jumping or not duplicate it’s size when he eats a magic mushroom. That’s not very polite, isn’t it?

So, my advise is: When you design your videogame, don’t forget to put tons of feedback to any action of the user. Feedback is very very important because make people feel confortable.

Bye!!!
