Abstract
This chapter aims to present game development for researchers who wish analyze game user experience by data collection, in their research, however find difficulties for application development. The chapter is divided into two parts: the first part presents game design theory highlighting definitions and examples about data collection involving guidelines and usability. The second part presents a game development approach using the Construct 2 as a tool for game development aiming to store multimedia resources data (audio, videos and photos) and variables (quantitative and qualitative) generated during users interaction.
