Password: <\/strong>opachi<\/p>\n\n\n\nGameplay Updates<\/h1>\n\n\n\n After receiving feedback for previous week\u2019s demo, we\u2019ve refined the gameplay and interactions between the two players in our core gameplay loop. As a refresher, we are currently using the following definitions for our game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
World<\/strong> – Candy Kingdom, the entire playable world of our game<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeighborhood <\/strong>– distinct areas within the world that the players can explore. Each neighborhood will have a distinct theme but fit within the overall world<\/p>\n\n\n\nHouse\/Patch<\/strong> – areas\/objects within a neighborhood that the Explorer will interact with to forage<\/p>\n\n\n\nCandy\/Opachi <\/strong>– creatures within the world that need to be categorized<\/p>\n\n\n\nGoal: <\/strong>Explorer and Selecter must find and categorize as many Sick Opachis <\/strong>as possible within the given time limit<\/p>\n\n\n\nBelow is an image demonstrating the main gameplay loop for the two players and their interactions with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe made a number of changes from last week based on the client\u2019s feedback and our own playtesting. Some of the larger changes included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fit with their research goals, Selecter should receive stimuli one at a time<\/strong> and make a quick decision<\/strong> rather than selecting from a batch<\/li>There should be stronger moments of trust between the two players<\/strong>; our method of implementing this is through a conjoined \u201cleave neighborhood\u201d decision<\/li>Swapping from a turn to a time limit<\/strong> – our previous concerns with AI speed are controllable from their end and should not end up being a problem<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nExploration Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Playtesting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n We went to Hunt Library to playtest naive guests, and got 3.5 pairs of players (yes, that\u2019s 7 testers, including Peter and Alexandria, fellows from our clients\u2019 lab) to test our demo v2.1.1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
