From the halves feedback we received, our team made sure to run by our work towards faculty and our client especially to prepare for the ETC Playtest day. The ETC Playtest Day is a department wide event where guests visit the ETC to visit the project teams and either try out their experiences or playtest their current work. Getting this feedback is extremely helpful for receiving feedback from different demographics that would help Simtopia iterate upon their work.<\/p>\n

While taking in feedback received from guests during ETC Playtest Day and refining on the experience to target those key areas, the team also made sure to progress on the features. Here are some of the development milestones for the week:<\/p>\n
