Two more weeks? Two more weeks. I’ve been adjusting my prototype further based on feedback and doing casual tests with people this week in addition to starting to think about how this should be displayed and contextualized online. What the Behance/portfolio experience should be is an introduction for the user…

This week, like all quarantined weeks, has been a struggle to get work together. Setting up meetings and user tests has been a helpful motivator though, and I hope to do one more round of testing next week before starting on my digital portfolio display of the project. After three…

Rather than a week of breakneck-paced work, these past seven days of quarantined life have let me reflect, take a short break, and take stock of what I need to get done and how I can make it happen. Instead of updating on any progress, this is now a to-do list for the rest of the semester. Outstanding items include: — Revised introduction and “tutorial” — Revised text animations/transitions — Scribble animated GIFs — Additional experimentation in the third act — Progress bar — Possible UI adjustments for desktop (now that physical DAAPworks is nixed) — Frequent user testing and feedback

What a week to be living in the world, huh. Viruses aside, I’m still running at full speed putting this together. Big changes this week were based on user testing from last week’s critique as well as a bit of further discussion with other students. Initially, I thought having a…

After hours of work in the last week, I have a full prototype together of all the routes and all the endings and all the options. Good Lord. This week’s larger class critique came at a particularly good time because I wanted to get started on a bunch of genuine…

A less eventful after thinking long and hard about Friday’s critique and several enlightening user tests. Moving forward, I’m going to be developing specifically for tablet-based interaction rather than computer or phone. Given more time, I would like this to work across platforms, but for the purposes of DAAPworks, this…

Alternate title: The One Where I Made A Real Prototype Wow prototypes are a lot of work actually. I spent the last week building out the first act of the game in Figma with all the routes available (it’s a lot and it gave me a headache to make sure…

Eureka! This week I randomly ran into Akshat in Starbucks and talked for nearly four hours about our lives, my capstone, and a bunch of other related and non-related things having to do with technology and design and all that good stuff. …

A busy, busy week for both capstone and branding pitches for DAAPworks. While I got a lot done on the way to solidifying a visual system for my game, the most important thing from this week was the feedback from my classmates and the amazing discussions we had.
