Summary:

This week we all attended the Transformational workshop hosted by our client from the Center for Transformational Play– Elaine. We had a great talk with her discussing what are her needs and expectations for the project. Moreover, we all had a deeper understanding of what transformational means and how important it is during the preparation stage while thinking about how to build the game. After that, our team had a group discussion before meeting with the professors. Given that the possible target population from the client in the first week’s meeting with us is different from what we expected, we asked her clearly and had meetings with instructors. So this week, we are about realizing what are the requirements in the game and how to design all elements in the game. 

Workshop:

These pictures were taken in the Transformational Workshop. They are providing solutions or examples about the possible questions we might have during the playtest. We previously doubted how we can measure social trust in the game. These solutions perfectly eliminate our doubts. 

Design: 

We are having some references from different games, and list their pros and cons thinking about fitting in the features of Social Trust Party Game. We also pitched to each other about why the games we proposed are good. And then, everyone gets a more clear direction of going forward.
