Nicholas Fisher - Playtest Results_Alpha Build

Hey all!
Just writing a post to compile all of the feedback we got from playtesters during CURSCA, as well as some additional feedback from my own playtest of the alpha build.

CURSCA Feedback:

• Text needs to be faster
• Could possibly use a headshot of the player character
• Ship overlays the “How to Play” popup in the Delivery Game
• Packages could be overlaid onto the conveyer belt during the Packing game
• Add a “Packages Left” widget to the Packing game
• Packages could be made to fall at a much faster rate
• Make the fuel bar more obvious during the Charting game
• Delivery game’s UI could be revamped
• Meteors in the Delivery game appear at the bottom of the screen
• Change the wording on the Charting game to inform players that they should start at the center of the map
• Upgrades in the shop should disappear after being purchased
• Balance the volume between cutscenes and gameplay
• Mission select screen could use a soundtrack
• Damage in the Asteroids game should be more consistent
• Hard version of Charting game is too difficult

In-Class Playtest:

• Intro:
  • Add button to advance text without skipping
  • Postmaster still has old border asset
• Mission Select:
  • Text on the Mission Select screen could use an actual textbox, instead of being blue text on a black rectangle
  • Text repeats if you go into the shop and come back before choosing a mission
  • Could get assets to replace the default Unity buttons
• Shop:
  • If possible, expand it to meet the edges of the screen
  • Could use something to do once I’ve purchased all the upgrades
  • Delivery game could use an upgrade associated with it, as all the other minigames do. 
• Packing:
  • You can win just by holding down - make it so the player looses if the stack goes above the top border
  • I purchased the Package Rotation upgrade, but was not informed of how to actually rotate packages.
• Charting:
  • Game should end once the player has hit all required targets
• Asteroids:
  • Damage needs to be more consistent.
  • Hard version of Asteroids needs to be longer, rather than just having the big asteroids.
• Delivery:
  • Update art
  • Occasional rounding error - was able to get +- .99999999999

All in all, I think we're in a good spot. Pretty much all that's left now is bug-fixing and polishing. Great work on the alpha build, everyone! Onwards!
