Unforunately, we didn&#8217;t collect too much feedback. The playtesters seems less motivated to engage in conversation with the AI opponent and create rhyming words in the battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were hoping to get feedback on the iterations to the personality profile but instead we decided that we really need to focus on onboarding players to our game. If we provide an engaging way for players to understand the game goal and how to play, then we believe that we can increase the average motivation of the player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" data-id=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201738-1024x676.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201738-1024x676.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201738-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201738-768x507.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201738.png 1484w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" data-id=\"327\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201750-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201750-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201750-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201750-768x460.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/mic-check\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-27-201750.png 1508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next week is spring break, but were are looking ahead to keep this project on track.
