The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has developed numerous procedures and techniques to ensure high usability when developing software. Usability in video games is also considered to be important, so it is crucial to ensure that game systems comply with usability standards. However, research has overlooked software development, specifically the stage of game development. Additionally, large gaming firms and game developers tend to keep their procedures and techniques secret. Professional reports have revealed the "ugly face" of the gaming industry. Bangladesh's slowly expanding game development sector comprises a significant number of small-to-medium-sized businesses and start-ups. These businesses require practical, developer-centric solutions to guarantee usability as they may lack the funds to engage usability specialists to oversee it. This article discusses the concept of game usability, including current research on usability techniques for game production. The literature included in this study had to meet the following requirements: (1) focused on gaming applications, including websites, PC software, smartphone, and tablet applications; (2) provided information about the usability of the application; and (3) provided experimental evidence of usability testing. The study involved conducting polls, heuristic scoring studies, and speaking with several game developers. Twelve usability heuristics were created based on the Nielsen usability technique and the stages of game software development, which help in preventing typical usability problems in games. A preliminary analysis of the heuristics indicates that they can assist in identifying game-specific usability problems that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Optimizing B2B Relationships with Post-Covid Sales and Marketing Automation through ERP Implementation: A Value-Driven Approach in Bangladesh
(Independent University, Bangladesh, 2023-05) Akthar, Sayeda Rahnuma; Khan, Mohammad Sajjad; Sadia, Farzana; Hasan, Mahady
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a powerful software program created to combine and streamline several company processes. Companies in developed countries frequently use it to increase their general effectiveness. ERP enables companies to meet the specific demands, interests, and behaviours of their customers, who are increasingly seeking individualized experiences. Even with the help of an implementation partner, deploying ERP properly necessitates a solid understanding of the involved process. During the implementation stage, effective communication and responsibility sharing can be challenging. The main goal of this paper is to create a thorough guidebook that offers insightful advice to businesses and their clients throughout the whole ERP deployment process. Six interviews were done to obtain information and address any implementation-related worries in order to accomplish this. These talks led to the creation of an implementation handbook that addressed important challenges and offered useful solutions. A methodology model diagram is also suggested to act as a visual roadmap for an organized and fruitful ERP installation. The objective is to equip businesses and their clients with the information and resources they need to successfully complete the deployment process and get the most out of their ERP system.
