Show A Thing – Takeaways

Can’t believe show a thing is over! (Mostly at least) I met with 4 people, the 5th is scheduled for later next week. Had different takeaways from each person but adding some notes here:

Creating empathy in games WITHIN the context of the game? Research on this

– like a natural disaster happening to everyone
– noticed that in my playtest players will more skill were able to avoid “disasters”

Need to clearly explain why I made each design decision and where it came from

– ie why start players in the same place? have this gem collection stuff? open world inspiration?

A story will be more compelling, especially for non- gamers

– maybe tie it to an altruistic act that I’ve experienced?

I might need to make some sort of “complimentary design”

– how far until it becomes necessary cooperation vs just non-competitive design?

Looking at team building exercises and how doing something first will build a relationship

Thinking about cost-benefit analysis in terms of the player

– is doing this nice thing at any cost to me?
– the higher the cost, the lower likelihood of it happening (unless there is an existing relationship)

  4. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say wonderful blog!

  5. One thing I want to say is that often car insurance cancellations is a dreaded experience so if you’re doing the appropriate things like a driver you simply won’t get one. Lots of people do obtain the notice that they are officially dumped by their insurance company they have to fight to get extra insurance following a cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get after the cancellation. Understanding the main reasons with regard to auto insurance termination can help people prevent sacrificing one of the most vital privileges accessible. Thanks for the suggestions shared via your blog.
