Prototype Play Testing

Play Testing

To gain a better understanding of the gameplay from the perspective of a new user, we contacted other groups to playtest our prototype. We managed to gather feedback from groups 3 and 10.

Play Testing by other groups

From the playtests we received very helpful feedback which is detailed below:

• The text in the dialogue boxes is a bit small.
• Waiting between story decisions becomes boring and tedious.
• Unsure what to do when nothing was happening on screen.

Play Testing for other groups

In return for the useful feedback provided, we playtested for groups 3 and 10

Improvements made in the next iteration based on feedback

• The text size was increased in the dialogue box
• Extra interactivity has been added to the game - camera movement, natural disasters.
• Increased visual feedback - building animations
