yay beta test!

Last words

So unfortunately we were unable to get any true beta testing done from our target audiance. We were able to get a few beta tests done they were just on the wrong audiance. Good news though they liked the game!!

Overall this process was fun and exciting! Working with a team brings its own challenges and rewards. Our team roles were kinda muddled but it was okay because we ended up splitting the work fairly evenly.

I hope you've enjoyed this bog of at least found it somewhat helpful :)

Final 11X17 stuff

OH BOY!!!!

Well we have been having an extremely productive tiny chat session this evening!! Getting alot done!! While i work on the template and logo and getting everything organized the boys are working on the main artwork for the cards! Will hopefully be finished soon!

I'd say look forword to info overload here shortly ill be posting the final mock-ups for our templates for rules and art work and stuff.

Prototype

So last week we had our first play through with the paper beta version. This week we have done a bit more refining and adding of words and such. I have also printed the cards on cardstock so they have some more weight. I believe today in class we will pin down who is to illustrate what and then next week is the final product! :)

Talk it out YO!

lol okay so currently three of our members are in tinychat talking out rules and names and problems and soltuions! were having fun doing it too! :) anyhoo we have come up with a working title called disambiguation! It will be a game about solving life's little problems such as zombies and godzilla and hangovers! haha just to name a few! stay tuned for more!

Surveys and Decisions

Well we took a new connected approach to getting surveys and I think it was fairly effective. Hopefully now we have enough in the same age demographic to get a good understanding. Today I think we will be finalizing what out concept is. I personally like Culver's idea, it's a cause and effect game that just about anyone could play, slightly similar to my own game Juxtaposition!.
