Development Cycle and Workshop

Hello! We have done our workshop this week with our lovely focus group and we had very good results from it: we were able to remove some game ideas that weren't needed and didn't make sense for our fast gameplay. We want the players to play for fun and not make them "backtrack" too much in our game. Furthermore, we have a lot of new ideas that ressurged from this workshop such as the whistle item, which you can use to call a pet of yours! And you'll be able to choose between different pets eventually as well! They're there to help you with your tasks! You'll see :)

Our deliverable, which includes our updated design documents and our workshop report, is turned in and we're ready for the next one: the prototypes!
Will you help us? Contact me at joao.meira@tecnico.ulisboa.pt or in facebook if you want to participate in our player feedback workshop!

As always, stay tuned! 😄

#DevCycle week 1

Hi! Today we went to the lab and finalized our plan for the workshop. We're going to test mainly the grab mechanic and the cure option. How should it be done? Also, we had a meeting with the two artists that are going to help us out this monday and they are currently working on some game design features! Soon, we're going to do the workshop and deliver next week's work. Stay tuned! ~evoll~

1st Cycle - 2nd Week

Hello again! This week, we started working on the project document for the first cycle. This wednesday, 06/03/2019, we shall discuss our progress with Professor Carlos Martinho, apply corrections to the document and continue to work on it. We have defined our game concept (and title), core experience, first tweet (elevator pitch), domain research, focus group, some play scenarios and the core gameplay loop. We'll start defining player personas after we gather some more people for the focus group! As of right now, the focus group has 2 members already (they fit in the target audience and they are available to give their opinions throughout the semester) and they have already commented on our game idea/concept, so that we could understand what they like and dislike about it. We have also updated our game concept in light of these comments, but we are still thinking a lot about whether these changes should happen or not. Stay tuned for more news! ~ evoll ~

1st cycle part 2: LF prototype

In the lecture this week we did a low fidelity prototype for a game. We tested it out and added some rules to see how it affects the game design, the playing, etc. It was very helpful to understand issues and to see which parameters work together or not. After this, we made a paper prototype for our own game. We now do some research questions to evaluate different parameters of our game. In addition, we are also beginning on a digital prototype. From tomorrow we will already test our different versions on persons from our focus group. //Melanie
