One Last Chance : Post Jam User Testing
It’s been a crazy week since finishing the Jam. Since PAX and PaxDev were in town, and because these are such social venues, I decided to take my trusty Nexus 7 out on a trip to the convention center.
And what did I do with my Nexus 7 at the convention center?
I bugged convention-goers and asked them to try out my LD24 game on my tablet!
Of those who were okay with it, I recorded their play sessions for study on how they interacted with the game, the device, and what trouble points they encountered. I also asked about improvements, concepts, and how the whole thing “felt” and got a wide variety of very keen observations, praises, and criticisms. Pretty much the whole week has been filled with such activity, and as such the only improvements I’ve had time to make were UI-related and adding a bit more narration from the main character to help flesh out the missing pieces.
However, I now have a lot of good feedback from “the man on the street” as to what they think of the idea.
