Tutorials & Playtests

Elemental Engagements

This week, I did a lot of bug fixing for Elemental Engagements as our vertical slice playtest was this week. Overall the playtest went really well, as players were getting invested in the game and exclaiming out loud during gameplay which was awesome to see. We did notice that our game guide was insufficient, that games went way too fast, and that people lacked situational awareness so there was more panicking rather than strategizing.

The Ceros Project

For my side project (which I will now be naming The Ceros Project) I created a tutorial and a game logging system that could record all the major events of the game and save them or log them as text. I also playtested the game and discovered that my tutorial was insufficient as none of the testers understood the game. I plan on scrapping my tutorial and making it more interactive and also have it include videos/gifs.
