WE spend the week preparing to show off our project to faculty on Friday. We polished out prototypes up some and ran a playtest on Monday.

Here is some specific feedback:<\/p>\n<p>Deep Sea Diver<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s disorienting without reference points.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s hard to locate the monsters in the water<\/li>\n<li>Controls weren\u2019t obvious<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Side Scroller<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The sounds were almost too explicit<\/li>\n<li>It got too hard too quickly<\/li>\n<li>We need the controls to be very clear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Radial Shooter<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fun! But too easy.<\/li>\n<li>There was a strategy of moving the mouse to center, which is actually good.<\/li>\n<li>People seemed to like this one the best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Good info to know! We also got useful information from the faculty during our Quarter\u2019s showing. All of this info will be instrumental in leading us to a final game decision on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s about it for this week. Next\u00a0 week, look forward to some plugging away on a specific game!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Quarters week!
