Synthgate Launcher

My Approach: Crafting Digital Excellence

In the realm of app development prototyping, I embarked on a significant Capstone Design Project for Bethel School of Technology, creating Synthgate—an innovative game launcher addressing common frustrations associated with managing multiple game launchers.

Vision and Innovation

Synthgate focuses on enhancing accessibility, convenience, and seamless game launching. Recognizing that 70% of PC gamers have 4-8 game launchers installed, I aimed to streamline the gaming experience by integrating all launchers into one cohesive system.

Identifying Unique Challenges

To understand user pain points, I conducted 5 interviews, 2 competitor analyses, and 2 surveys with 108 respondents. The findings revealed that 94% of gamers found it confusing to navigate different game libraries. Additionally, 82% actively seek the cheapest prices before purchasing games.

Resolving Complex Problems

Synthgate is not just a launcher but a solution to complex challenges faced by gamers. By consolidating multiple launchers into one platform, it simplifies the gaming experience and addresses the need for cost-conscious choices.

User-Centric Design

The user-centric design of Synthgate ensures a seamless and user-friendly experience. With insights from gamers, the platform prioritizes easy navigation and efficient management of games from various sources.

Meeting User Needs

Understanding that Steam is favored for its abundant features, Synthgate incorporates a digital marketplace, offering a wide selection of games.

Every aspect of Synthgate reflects my systematic, innovative, and problem-solving approach. This capstone project showcases my commitment to crafting digital excellence and delivering a product that exceeds user expectations.
