Presentation #1 Critique

Antlion

• refreshing new look on a commonly used strategic gameplay
• co-discovery is not useful for strategic games - unless the play is tag-team
• as an educational game, it has achieved its goal since not many people know of antlion. I've never even heard of antlion before this
• good job narrowing the topic, good choice of problem space to make it manageable

Fins of Fury

• What is Fins of Fury about? It wasn't mentioned in the presentation slides...
• established good motivation in game
• lacking a reason for the game, what is the purpose behind it?
• 4 level board game testing is a really interesting idea
• all playtesting users are moderate gamers - it would've been nice to see the game play tested on a more variety of different gamers such as beginners

Mizu

• paper prototype has its limitations - some game concepts are hard to test such as actions... my team can attest to that
• the team is right to point out that computer/player interaction can't be simulated

Untitled

• list of what to test for - good objectives laid out there, and also the team will be able to go back and compare what the results are and what they had hoped to achieve
• balance of character types - a great thing to take into consideration, and gives more depth to the game during playtesting sessions
• good choice of users by varying the different level of experience
• the photo posted of the game board is a little hard to see and could've used a bit of photo editing
