Psychology in Game Design

I hope that more game design programs start having more of a psychology presence. We're working on setting up a UX lab so that students can play with Toby eye tracking software. It's just really fun to show them the how and the why of psych and methods and design. And even something as simple as biased game testing, sometimes you want your core demographic to come in that you don't even have to pay because they'll show up and play your game anyway. That can be limiting to you. But by looking at seasoned veterans and newer players and casual gamers,. it's gonna end up incorporating a lot of psychology to make better games.
