Then put on some finishing touches before the playtests on Saturday.<\/p><p>With this in mind, we wanted to focus on the following aspects:<\/p><ul><li>Finale 1, Finale 2, and Finale 3<\/li><li>Dialogs between Player and Engineers<\/li><li>New character designs<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Finales<\/strong><br \/>For the Finales, my responsibilities were to ensure that the puzzles were implemented and there was evolution from each Finale.<\/p><p>Finale 1 needed to give the user just enough time to start gaining information, but not enough time to think they were capable of beating it.<\/p><p>Finale 2&#8217;s goal is to allow much more exploration for the player, but still keep the &#8220;winning&#8221; part out of reach.<\/p><p>Finale 3 should be winnable.
