23/05/2025 Updating and Iterating over our Game After reviewing our playtesting results I realised that there were still some time to iterate our prototype before the playtesting party on Monday. One thing i added was a controls section on the menu screen. This was because players found it difficult to understand that they could shoot in the game as it was not an explicit aspect in the game. I hav... » Continue Reading

6/05/25 Hello. I did the playtesting of my racer and this time i had conducted it differently to how i used to. For one, i chose people who were fellow developers. the first person i had playtest my game was Acelin. I have never talked to this person outside of this playtest, however the feedback they gave back was very informative. i believe its because they are aware of the conventions and feed... » Continue Reading
