Players had great responses and evaluations for our games. For the players who had played the prototype versions, they told us that they were excited and surprised by the polished quality of the game. Thanks to our effort during this week, we have added the background music as well as the voiceover for the rulebook &#8211; the game feels much more complete adding these elements, and we were satisfied with the result that most players will be able to set up the games without any instructions from us.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most of the results aligned with our anticipations, we did observe some dynamics that aroused some thoughts about UI\/UX designs. For example, the time distribution for telling the story, asking\/answering questions seemed to be a little unbalanced. Some players argued that we need to add a skip button for answering the questions, as 120 seconds feel way too long under some circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bade113 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bade113\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5824a9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5824a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Otter Agent Training Gameplay:\n<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cdedba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cdedba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the new game, we felt that the philosophy of the territory-occupying gameplay framework makes sense, so we moved forward with this thought. To test how to set the game values, Shih-Hung implemented a prototype graphic interface where we would be able to interactively play.
