However, the internet connection was not stable enough for Alexa to capture the voice clearly so we went for a demo from our team member, instead of letting the faculties try it. Fortunately, we&#8217;ve sent out a demo video before the soft opening so they had a chance to watch it before meeting with us. Overall, the feedback was positive for our design.

Weekly Blog: Script Writing: Most people think our demo is very easy to understand. However, a little tedious as same questions keep looping. Therefore, after quarter, we tried a new way in design and script. Instead of using linear Q&amp;A style, we tried listing a lot of options and started with user giving command directly. The playtest results are somehow expected. Players can only hit few options we give in script. Next week, we gonna have more design meeting and combine two styles(linear and flat) together to make players feel the freedom while understanding their goals.

During the code review, we received a lot of helpful feedback, such as variable name consistency, code reuse, proper comments. Among the feedback, the client mentioned about minimizing the database operations, because if the client publishes this skill in the future, they actually will pay for the database operations. That is something we didn&#8217;t notice during our development process and learned after the code review.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9815738 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9815738\" 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<div id=\"1581119401.030800\" class=\"c-virtual_list__item\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"listitem\" aria-label=\"Ariel Tan at 3:50 PM.
