  • Project 1: TableTop Game Proposal

    Week 2

    We started to brainstorming the tabletop game we wanted to develop and we had come up with card game in school scenario.

    Things we had done:

    1. Think of gameplay mechanisms
    2. Made presentation slide of our mechanisms and weekly update
    3. Decide the day and the board game cafe we will go for experience more board game

    Week 3

    Went to boardgame cafe to find inspiration for our game.

    Week 4

    Starting to develop our card and had one round playtesting. Fixed the details in presentation slides.

    Week 5

    Refined the cards and had another playtesting, and fixed the cards along playing. Finalised the presentation slides.

    Week 6

    We had presentation of our game proposal on class, and with the feedback from lecturer, we will refined our game's GPA accumulate system to finish the game within about 45 minutes because this is the focus time of a card gameplay.

    Project 2 & 3: Tabletop Gameplay & Final Iteration

    Week 7

    We had the first pre-alpha playtest with Group 4 members. We found out that our card's instruction might be too long and complicated where we spent times looking at the it and making the gameplay less smooth. Besides, we found that players might forget the identity's personality, so we have to make it clearer and more fun. Thus, we will enhance the card's content to prepare for the next gameplay.

    Week 8

    After the feedback session from other Group 4 members, we enhanced our game by making the game easier and more understandable. We fixed the card contents, eliminated the game mechanics that are too complicated and has less effects to our card game. Also, we simplified the card's instructions so that it does not confuse the players. We then played the game among ourselves to test that it is well improved and fixed. We tried and the after enhancement, the game can be finished within 30 minutes, and we can respond fast to the cards that required instant responds.

    Week 9

    This week we had another playtest with new players, but we feel like we still need more playtest with more new players to gather more information on how to enhance our card game.

    Week 10

    This week we had another playtest with another new players and we had played several rounds for this time, and we are looking forward for their feedback to enhance the game.

    Week 12

    This is week we had our Playtest 4 with Group 5 members as our final playtest. As the final playtest's feedback, I do think it is quite positive feedback and thus we are happy with the outcome.

    Week 13

    This week we had group discussion within ourselves regarding our Final Presentation, we discussed about the content to include in our presentation slides and discuss the time to do presentation recording. Also, we finalise the card contents and enhancing our game rules.
