Practical App

Bring and share an example from your lab's practival application for reflection.

After a game is turned in, the AM and PM Classes play all the games and write a review on the game

Once the reviews are in, they are posted and the students all read them (some use their detective skills to try and figure out the reviewer)

Once they have read them, we do "High - Low - Come on Bro" as a warm-up

High - Low - Come on Bro

Today for your warm-up, I want you to look at the reviews from your Carny Game.

You will tell me one thing good someone said about your game (High)

One thing someone said critical about your game (Low)

One thing random or weird that someone said about your game (come on bro)

Lastly tell me if there is anything you would change out your game after reading the reviews.

Example of the reflection

Someone said ”The art is very well done, as well as the gameplay.  I didn’t encounter any bugs, and I enjoyed the game overall.” I am really glad they liked the art because the art was amazing and I am glad that they liked the game. I am also glad that they didn't encounter any bugs. There were a couple bugs that i hotfixed which i'm glad that they got to play with because the bugs were a little noticeable. “This is because the game was fleshed out and the animation was nice but the game did not feel as fun until the carnival game. This could be fixed by making the enemies move honestly.” Honestly I agree with their criticism because the game is very simple and I wish I knew how to make the enemies move because it would have made the game a lot better. I really enjoyed learning about other people's thoughts on our game because it really not only brings up my confidence but it also helps me kind of understand what needs improvement. 

High - SOOOOO CUTE! The controls were easy, graphics adorable, I saw no issue with the game play! A very light hearted game, I like the story as well. Super fun! No bugs!

Low - Didn’t really care for it, the movement was glidey to a noticeable extent, and also the mechanic of having to stand still and click so many times to try and kill one clown made me lose several lives.

Come on Bro - The only thing I’m confused about is that after running out of the water gun I didn’t see anymore so I just kept dying from the clowns.  (There’s infinite ammo?)

After reading these reviews, I would change the speed of the character and the aggro of the clowns, because these were two of the most noticeable complaints.  The game seemed to be generally very well received, especially Casselina’s cute art style.  The only other improvement that I could think of would be scenery, but I didn’t want to give my partner too much to work on.
