We are entering a busy week aiming to provide a sufficient result for us on the playtest day Apr 6, 2024. Our goal for playtest day is to test out user interactions and emotions toward Pittsburgh Chinatown and Location based elements. Before playtest day, we have arranged pilot playtest event with our instructors, SME, and consultant on Wednesday.
Our Current play through:
Physical Name Card for location based element:
Pilot playtests before playtest day:
We have received playetest feedback from instructors, SME, and consultant. We have then managed to list out some of our priority work before the playtest day:
After we have slightly changed our result, we also did a playtest with our instructors on Friday, and list of our plan before the playtest day:
Changes we have made:
Tech: We have finished stage 1 and stage 2, and was able to add all art assets in the scene. We have slightly changed the wording and background UI for more visible reading and clearer understanding.
Art: According to pilot playtest feedback, we add a tutorial page so that players need to see each other’s avatar first to encourage collaboration.
For 3D, we have also reduced faces for some of our models and made our NPC T position to a normal position.
Design: We have made survey for the playtest day to discover if the player’s reactions meet our goal.
Pre survey:
Post survey:
Location Based Element:
We find out the speaker we have used has bad qualities. We managed to change to better quality speakers and add specific sound to correspond people’s reactions.
