EL 405 Alpha Test-I forgot to report
Wow, can't believe I forgot this.
Jeremy tested my game, only to get stuck at one of the sections where you have to have a conversation with Snape. I realized that I have to not make things so specific. Making a game challenging and pissing players off are two different things.
Then Jeremy continued until a point where even I couldn't even remember how to advance the game. I've been working on this thing for close to two months now, and my brain is getting tired.
So instead of testing two people, I ended up taking over and spending the remainder of class recoding all the problems I saw. It's interesting how observing one person's use of a game can give you ideas. I added humor, as well as tasks that are not difficult to figure out as long as the player READS THE TEXT!!!
At this point, I only had the scene in Dumbledore's office to code, which was fraught with coding difficulty. Cabinets are unlocks with songs, and the player has to talk to a picture.
