The physical prototype had two main features: the tutorial phase, which features levels that teach players about different aspects of recycling\/reusing clothes, and our fabric guide, which has entries on a variety of different materials and the sorts of properties those materials have. Heather identified some hiccups\/points of discomfort and we found the meeting helpful at identifying which actions we need to smooth out.<\/p><p>After that meeting with Heather, we had our faculty meeting with Dave and Brenda. They shared their thoughts, which along with Heather&#8217;s feedback, gave us some good things to think about. We spent the rest of the week reviewing and iterating on the physical prototype. We are now at the point in our project where we are developing a physical version and a digital version in tandem. Our end goal is to just present the digital version of our game at the Games For Change Festival, but we can gather a lot of playtest feedback through our physical prototype.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-12a32c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"12a32c2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-440f099\" data-id=\"440f099\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f535f48 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f535f48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/echo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Playtest_Closeup_3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5e7ca77 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5e7ca77\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ba7960d\" data-id=\"ba7960d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be4f74b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be4f74b\" 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>As for the digital prototype itself, Xiunan has been leading the Unity programming with James assisting.
