I&#8217;ll be short and to the point: we are behind where we would like to be. By this point, we&#8217;d like to have our game testable in two main dimensions: the transformation\/message and the interactions\/gameplay. We don&#8217;t actually have either at this time.<\/p><p>Starting with the interactions\/gameplay (because I believe it to be a simpler explanation), we are more experienced with creating a game than creating a transformation. Therefore, we have not been especially forward with trying to get gameplay to a testable point since we believe we are able to do it in a shorter amount of time. I believe this to be the incorrect approach because we would be purposely backloading our work efforts instead of trying to knock out &#8220;easier&#8221; tasks head-on.<\/p><p>As for the transformation\/message, we are (as a group) not especially experienced in delivering a transformation. Additionally, our overall experience with how to identify and counteract racial bias is low, which has meant we haven&#8217;t felt particularly confident in developing our ideas\/story. Moving forward, our plan is to continuously make attempts at delivering our message so that we are able to gain feedback and iterate on it. Trying to have a great experience in a vacuum, without testing with experts or our audience, is unlikely to go in our favor. Therefore, we need to be prepared to regularly test our game and receive feedback.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59f1999 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59f1999\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-78f648f\" data-id=\"78f648f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e7c815 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e7c815\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advisor and Client Meetings<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a9fcd68 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a9fcd68\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-43e3932\" data-id=\"43e3932\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01d86dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01d86dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On Monday we met with Mike and Ricardo to explore our physical prototype in preparation for our meeting with our client, John, on Wednesday.
