This thesis explores facilitating player involvement in game design, aiming to create a readily implementable concept for developers. Research included surveys of both players and developers, investigating player perspectives on existing games and their interest in development, and developer practices regarding user-centered design and player integration. Resulting design guidelines informed the creation of a website plugin concept, exemplified by features like question boards or sticky notes, designed using Figma, to enable quick and easy player participation in the development process.
