Week fourteen update:
In week fourteen we have been busy showing our project to faculty for soft opening. In addition to this, we have been tweaking the build based on softs feedback, started work on our finals presentation, and have been testing the most recent entry/exit systems on Wednesday, and Friday.
Our feedback from soft opening was mostly positive. Faculty were able to understand the experience and what we were designing for in entry/exit systems. That said, we could do a better job of showing faculty how exvitation works – due to limited time in the soft opening presentations, we decided to run the experience in a more guided manner rather than organically letting exvitation happen. In addition to this, we need to emphasize that we’ve been testing this product by setting up scenarios between playtesters, which can contextualize the use of this product in the future.
Looking forward to finals, we need to keep in mind the softs feedback with regards to how we present our project. This means that we need to take the time this week and next to refine our finals presentation in a way that is clear, concise, and understandable. We also aim to share our documentation with faculty before finals since it’s such a large part of our deliverables, as well as to provide them further insight into our project.
