We successful conducted the playtest with 11 groups playtest last Saturday. This week, we are mainly focusing on optimizing our experience based on the feedback we received on the playtest day.
Plus, we started our one last sprint aiming at both creating the gallery scene and bringing the PGC mascot Blaze into our experience as the virtual assistance.
