This week, we at True North have been working hard to implement interaction, polish the experience in anticipation for Soft Opening on 4/18. At the start, we took some time to go through playtest results from the week prior, and also attended Playtest Night at HCI. Our priority for our remaining production time is to make sure all the elements we have ready to go are working properly, and that the experience runs smoothly.
