“It was a privilege to take part in Minds At Play’s PlayTest Lab and introduce BraveCart to a truly diverse set of players, each with their own unique perspectives and experience of play. Their approach to playtesting and research yielded genuine, actionable insights into how our game was landing with audiences. Our report gave us the strength to challenge our assumptions and optimise BraveCart’s design for inclusivity, accessibility and… well, FUN!” … Rick Salter – Director Hojo Studios – Developer of BraveCart
