Comment on Isak’s post ‘ Importance of playtesting ‘
https://isakmansen.wordpress.com/2018/03/08/importance-of-playtesting/
Hi,
I found this post well written and straight ou started by introducing the concept of iteration and feedback. In a couple of lines you have summarized what we have been told and explained by our teachers during this year about the importance of playtesting, feedback and iteration.
I can see how the playtesting has helped you with bugs, setting the difficulty and communicating to the player what he can […]

5.1 Comment on another blog – Group A, David Åström
Hello there David, my name is Carl, I am the Lead Designer and Lead Sound of Group T, and I am the one reading and giving your blog some comments and feedback this time.
Very intresting way of using the feedback you recieved from the playtesting about the teleport ability. Before reading the text I sort of just took a shot in the dark, and assumed it would be a normal text explaining that the feedback made you guys change the […]

Blogpost #5 Playtesting
Playtesting is a vital component when it comes to the development of a game. It’s through playtesting that you get feedback from ideally the target group of your game. This feedback gives you a heads-up whether you are working towards the goal or if there is something steering you adrift. There are different kinds of playtesting where the objectives behind it differ. It could be playtesting from a technical or aesthetic standpoint. Each playtesting gives different feedback to build upon.

Hi Petra! I must say I am extremely impressed by your blog Post. You were incredibly thoughtful with explaining every single aspect you had consider while preparing for the making of your game. It was easy to see your thought behind the the colors you choose, by looking and comparing with previous games for children you made it clear why you started of with so bright and colorful colors. You didn’t just pick the bright colors for your different […]

Hi Lina,
I had a great pleasure of reading this article. It was concise enough, described the topic and answered all the important questions.
I agree with you that, no matter how many internal playtesting you have, an external input is priceless and really helpful. It is good to see that you succeed in your goal of making the funny game.
There is one thing I don’t quite understand; the swarming mechanic. Is it […]

The Jury (so far)
The jury represents the most hard-working participants at the Gotland Game Conference (save for our students, natch). Jurors travel from around the globe to hear our students’ presentations a day before the conference even starts, and to spend the better part of a week playing all of the student productions on the show floor.

https://thecodingspartan.wordpress.com/2018/03/01/2018-03-01-maximizing-your-audio-budget-using-pitch-variation/
The blog is written in a clear order, you first explained the importance of the diverse sound feedback in game and the common solution for people is to change the pitch of the same sound asset. However, it’s still costly if create different pitches manually. Therefore, you introduced the usage of the AudioSource component and how to access it via script. It’s pretty smart to adjust the pitch combining the Random function and it’s the perfect solution to […]

The article is in a clear and neat first person perspective. The graph and the link also give me a clear vision of what Scrum is and how it works. In many points, I feel exact the same. At the first and second weeks I touch Scrum I also left ton of tasks and promises to the list which stressed me out during the following week. It teaches you to be responsible and contribute to the group. Unlike […]

Hello Samuel! Thanks for the explanation of the obstacle spawner! The article wrote in a clear structure and told me details of what you did which would be easy for me to simulate. I love the inspector design you made! I have totally no idea how to modify the pattern of the inspector, though I modify the properties of GameObject there as well. It will be great to have a header and slider to make the architecture neat […]

According to the picture, i think it does creates a horrible atmosphere to me, especially the teeth and the point light from the eye. However, since the player are chasing by the fish, will it still see the rest of the body? The bloody body of the fish also reflects it’s a dangerous creature. It would be a pity if i can’t see the whole body because i die immediately when touching the mouth of the fish. Another […]

Design Feedback – 5
I like this blog post for several reasons. The main reason is how open you are with the game’s state and your role as a scrum master/product owner. That you can look at yourself and critique is a very crucial thing to do in order to learn. We all struggle, sometimes more, sometimes less. I think you will benefit from this and take this experience and make something valuable out of it.
It is never a good feeling when you know […]
