During week seven our team worked in to complete a playable prototype of our game to test with\u00a0students at Elizabeth Forward. We added some art assets and worked on getting some prototype controls. We were able to implement some prototype controls using makey-makey, xarcade controls,\u00a0and a microphone.<\/p>\n
On Monday of week 8<\/p>\n
We tested our game at Elizabeth Forward. We tested with 12 students and found that students\u00a0understood the mechanics and who they were in the game. They also seemed to be engaged in playing.\u00a0However we also realized some things that needed improvement. The geologist side was pretty\u00a0complicated so students didn\u2019t have enough time to analyze the information they needed to pass on to\u00a0the driller. This created a pacing problem that made collaboration between the two sides ineffective.\u00a0We talked with the teachers after testing and they liked our idea of collaboration but also felt that the\u00a0objectives and goals for each side needed to be clearer, especially for the driller.\u00a0On Tuesday the majority of our team attended GDC in San Francisco, so our next iteration started after\u00a0spring break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
