Last updated 2 years ago

Criteria To Assess

In order to access the overall experience of my project and how it matches up against my criteria I will collect feedback from a small group of users who had played my game.

Test
Test Details

1 - Easy to Learn

Are the controls easy to understand? Is the menu easy to navigate?

2 - Error tolerant

Did you encounter any bugs whilst playing? Is you answered yes please detail bugs found

3 - Engaging / Visuals

I found the visual style appealing

4 - Efficient

Are different areas in the map easy to find / access?

5 - Effective

There is a sufficient amount of gameplay to enjoy

Listed below are the results to the questions. I will go over the results in depth during the evaluation

User Feedback

Question 1

Majority of people who had tested my game found the controls intuitive with roughly 3 quarters of the players either agreeing or strongly agreeing with the prompt with about a quarter saying they felt neutrally about the prompt. This shows that majority found the controls relatively easy to get a grasp of with no one disagreeing with the statement.

Question 2

This question demonstrates how majority of players found one bug whilst playing but none that significantly impacted the gameplay or caused the game to fully stop working or crash. These will be fixed in the near future and can be discussed in the evaluation on why the number of minor bugs was so high.

Question 3

Question 3 asks the player about whether the game managed to keep them engaged throughout the experience without getting bored playing. Whilst there was one person who felt neutral about the prompt, a majority agreed with the prompt or strongly agreed that the game managed to keep them engaged which was a big part of my criteria for a good game experience.

Question 4

Question 4 discusses the visual style of the game since I believe this is a very important part of keeping the player engaged. An overwhelming majority of the players responded they strongly agreed with the statement with the others still agreeing that the style was appealing.

Question 5

Question 5 highlights the accessibility of the features and where the player should next go in the game through visual cues. An overwhelming majority replied saying they found the different areas easy to access with 14.3% saying they strongly agreed with the prompt.

Question 6

Question 6 discusses the idea of sufficient gameplay amounts to enjoy which is the area this game may have lacked. The reason a majority of respondents felt neutral on the prompt was that the game can be completed very quickly if the player knows the quests to complete and is not that long of an experience. This will be discussed further in evaluation but will be taken further with more given time allocated to development.

Question 7

Question 7 talks about the main menu and whether it is easy to navigate and use. An overwhelming majority strongly agreed with the statement with just over a quarter of the users still agreeing that overall the menu is easy to use and navigate.

Usability Requirements in Success Criteria

Some of the success criteria requirements fall into the section of usability. These will also be tested now and are listed below:

Criterion
Description

13

Combat system is easy to understand and use

16

Game does not have any inappropriate content

17

Game must run without crashing

Criterion 13

This graph shows everyone agreed that the combat system is easy to understand with most strongly agreeing with the statement

Criterion 16

The results from this chart demonstrate how nobody found the game inappropriate keeping it to the sought after PEGI rating of 7+ mentioned earlier on in the 1.5 Success Criteria

Criterion 17

This chart shows how nobody out of the people that tested my game experienced any crashes or freezing whilst playing my game.
