game work

[dr_tectonic]

I just finished reading through the final report from our usability team (three college students who agreed to do testing of our game for their class project), whom we're meeting with in about half an hour. They made a number of useful observations and recommendations. I came up with a bunch more ideas reading through their report. There were some tests we wish they'd done, but OTOH it was also free labor. The two big conclusions:

1) We have already implemented most of the fixes they recommend. Go us!

2) Out of the six non-target-demographic playtesters, there was one that really like the game. Let me repeat that: there was a playtester that really liked our game! There was somebody who really got it and understood what it was all about, and he liked it, too.

Yay! I feel all happy now.

Yes, I know this is becoming alarmingly habitual (forgetting to sign posts, or post signs...), but, well, this is k8. Again... {sigh}

You should just make yourself a free lurkjournal for making comments. Lots of people do that. =)

At the moment, nothing in particular. (Joneses may have another thing on Friday, rather than DDR -- not sure.) But we'd like to be sociable and stuff. How 'bout you?

Heh. Got your voicemail after I wrote this. Socializin' would be fun. And I need to see Jer's new coolness. Tonight 8ish would be an option. Brain no work. See post to Bryree.

I've thought about a lurk journal. Actually, I've thought about a blog, too. Actually, sorta a cross between a blog, and a web site, and a writing, um, resume-thingee. It's actually a project for the week between Christmas and New Year's, when I'm off from ACC (along with job hunting, finishing my game, and any other project I can manage to work on within the glorious realm of that illusive thing known as free-time. Which is likely more accurately described as not-at-work time). I've been holding out until I can myself organized enough to post regularly, consistently, and in a fashion that I find acceptable.

I'm going to dinner on Friday with Jeff and Alice who wanted to take me out for my birthday. Tonight (Thursday), I have to work at the OG. [sigh]

Would that make it a webwritogume? Ooh, that's unwieldy. ;-)

Bonus!
