Paper prototype feedback


After we testing the paper prototype this week, most of the feedback we get is positive but still have some part need to change. We collect three main part feedback to use in our future design.

  1. change the level page as the home page, so that we need to delete one of return button in the level page.
  2. According to the feedback we collect, most of the user think page 2 which is the login page is useless, and we decided to drop this page in future design. We will move the login button on the right top Conner in each page.
  3. Show the help page before level 1 page, and this help page will help user easily get the game ruler before play game.

week 6 The feedback from Presentation

Our first design of the web page game

In our Our first design of the web page game include  Background story page, Login page, Main page,  Game tutorial page, Game tutorial page, Level selection page,  and Introduction page.

From the Presentation feedback, we found that the page turn need to be change, and some user think the login should not appear in the front, so we decided to make login and register system as a button on each of the web page.

Our Group decided to have four part change in future design.

  1. set three rounds for each level based
  2. add a remaining attempts that the user can easy get the rules of the game.
  3. We will add a calculate to calculate user’s spending time for each round and add three seconds if they choose wrong.
  4. Add ranking system is based on  spending time in each round, and  delete the star in basic design.


The register system  we are thinking to cut it off,  use the login system instead. I think that can save register time when user use it in future. In my own idea, the register is useless because our user group in children and most of them would not choose to register before they play a simple web page game.

Research on Intended audience representation and Rules setting

Research on Intended audience representation
About the Intended audience choosing, in order to make it more accuracy for design, our group decided to change the target user to be 7 to 12  year' old children. 
I have doing some research on on Intended audience, Why choosing education game, and The content style with pictures. Children have different interests compared to adults for computer games.The evaluation and research on children should be involved in processes of the game’s design.
It is useful for children to use the picture to learn something new, and comparing to the simple content of disturbing, the children prefer looking at the picture to learn.
For that reason, we found using the picture as the content let children learn about danger snake is more effective.
The references on this part is showing below.

Rules of game

Each round has a limited numbers of remaining attempts, which based on the numbers of pictures. With increasing numbers of pictures the number of remaining attempts will increase.

User has to choose correct picture within remaining attempt. If user chooses
 a wrong picture that the time will increase 3 seconds. On the other hand if user’s operation times over the limited steps, the game will be end.
