Prepping for Softs and final playtests<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being only a 2 day week, week 12 was mainly focused on building a task list for the upcoming thanksgiving break, and having an aim ready for when we are back. The target was to have a complete Prototype for our virtual chill room and competitive game (prototypes 1 and 3) before the end of the week. Our collaborative prototype 2 would be a work in progress, aimed to finish by the end of week 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also invited over the students of Northgate school to the ETC in week 13! We wanted them to playtest the softs version of our prototypes and give them a tour of the ETC. We had a mix of 5 middle school students and 3 high school students visit the ETC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Art & Playtesting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main interactions were all in, and we began working on adding polished and extra features in the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the polishing features Tairan added to the space was to alter the water and environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, an addition to the experience was to add a special easter egg when 3 players interact with each other. We wanted to add this to add a special action for when 3 players are in the space, since every interaction till now is individual. This is also inspired by one of the suggestions the students gave us while playtesting our experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
