User Feedback:

From conducting digital prototyping activities and asking for personal feedback, our group was able to accumulate accurate and vital feedback to make perspective changes to our application.

The feedback that was accumulated included the following:

• Many of the users didn’t see the 3 hearts system representing health
•  The users didn’t take interest in the Star Box
• The users wanted the Trove data to be displayed in a more aesthetic manner
•  A more noticeable ‘Return to Game’ button within the Trove Pages was requested
• The checklist should be “clickable” so users are able to view the Trove data, and this should pause the game
• Add more elements to the instructions page
• Explicitly narrate the theme for each level (make it more obvious)
• The users wanted to be able to see the highest scores of the game
• The users wanted the location of the Star Box to change each time they played
• The tutors wanted the coding to be fixed up by commenting, indenting and deleting redundant code, making it more aesthetically pleasing
• Within the menu, the user wanted to click the high scores leaderboard page to lead to the high scores page. This had not yet been implemented
•  The users found the scoreboard page lacked style and structure
• The tutor wanted the Trove data to be displayed in a more aesthetically pleasing manner by adding PDF pop ups to the articles instead to linking to Trove itself
• The users wanted the whole application to be more aesthetically pleasing
• The users wanted more information and pictures to be displayed on the home page of the game
• The users wanted the Star Box to be included within the checklist of the game
• The users wanted to see an interactive menu within the game

From the feedback provided, we hope to make accurate changes to the application to please the needs of our target audience.

From the feedback given we made several changes to our application that appeased our user feedback.
I added more elements to the tutorial page including:

What i thought about this week:

This week i thought our trade show demonstration went really good. We got the right feedback needed to fully complete our application and make it good. I made changes to the tutorial page as well as choosing the right music for the application.
