Play-test rules
The player can do no wrong
We are not judging you

The player is told that he can visit other lobbies or can build his own castle
Player tasks:
Listen and carry out the tasks that the game designer gives them
To explore our built
to figure out the controls
Tree Testing (20 min.)
The game designer asks players to do certain tasks to see how fast a player finds access to it.
Search the lobby
Enter another player's castle

Were any aspects of the game confusing? If so, please describe.
It doesn't really make it that apparent what exactly the goal is.
het kasteel draaien, het ging steeds de andere kant op als dat ik wou.
Mostly some controls overlapping ie right mouse button both deselecting and rotating the camera
Het was voor mij niet duidelijk wat Feasts, skyblocks of NFT value inhield. Deze veranderde ook elke keer als ik de lobby refresh. Het draaien van de camera was niet helemaal intuïtief en zorgde er af en toe ook voor dat ik items die in vasthad verwijderde. Het plaatsen van een item is duidelijker als er een richting wordt aangegeven van het item (zoals bij sims bijv) door een pijl of iets dergelijks. Het was nog niet duidelijk wat de currency was of hoe ik aan nieuwe items moest komen. Een indicatie waar ik geklikt heb om naartoe te lopen zou ook fijn zijn. Als speler kreeg ik het idee dat de portal die er al staat, een entree is naar jouw eilandje/kasteel. Dat idee werd minder toen ik erachter kwam meer portals te kunnen plaatsen en je gebruikt de portal ook niet om naar een andere lobby te gaan. Daarnaast kan ik niet een troon/stoel mooi tegenover de portal plaatsen, want de portal is 2 blokjes breed!
het draaien van de objecten was lastig om te vinden
Nothing really
What parts of the game where strong?
I felt as if the creative aspect had greatly improved over last time, with a wider variety of furniture.
objecten waren makkelijk te draaien.
Building rooms
Visueel ziet het er al een beetje leuk uit. Ik denk dat je met nieuwe items en dingentje zoals ramen en deur er wel iets leuks van kan maken.
het bouwen je heb er veel vrijheid mee
The building and option to build a specific way
What didn't you like about the game?
I do not see the point of building anything at all yet.
Dat je objecten niet in meerdere directies kan zetten.
Currently the lack of interactables (there was only building and walking around without anything to do)
Er is nog niet zo heel veel te doen, en ik heb nog geen doel om nieuwe items te verzamelen. En ik kan nog niet decoreren zoals ik zou willen.
Couldn't find any doors :(
Were any aspects of the lobby confusing? If so, please describe.
It might be better to have the lobby equipped with a search function, or a friendcode kind of deal, because scrolling through all of these, especially if you want 100s of players, will be a drag.
nope
Some data like number of feasts didnt mean much to me yet and there were only a few rooms now but i imagine there might be a lot of scrolling involved were there any more
The feasts and NFt value
nee
When entering my own room i couldn't find the "build mode" at first
Did you feel this new version is an improvement? (only for people who playtested before)
Ja hele improvement van de vorige keer je kunt nu dingen weghalen en draaien en meer verschillende objecten plaatsen.
Ja want je kunt er meer in doen en de texturen zijn een stuk beter.
Ja want je kon objecten makkelijker plaatsen en veel meer mooie dingen. Duidelijkere aangegeven plaatjes bij de objecten. Fijn dat je het object plaatje kan vergroten nu. (Laatste was ook al bij Sprint 2, maar valt de speler nu op)
absoluut veel meer variatie aan spullen
Additional Comments
Buiding was fun but Felt a little claustrofobic with the tall walls in smaller rooms
Het zou handig zijn om te kunnen zien of iemand online is, zodat je diegene makkelijker kunt vinden.
Het was makkelijk de andere speler te vinden omdat er maar 1 andere speler in de game aanwezig is. Maar als er meerdere spelers online zijn zal het lastig zijn om iemand te vinden.
Feedback van het plaatsen en feedback om te zien waar ik heen loop van tevoren zou fijn zijn.
Maak het symbooltje van het bouwen anders want het past niet echt bij de game
geen terugknop bij de lobby
de camera zelf was lastig want draaide vaak per ongeluk de verkeerde kant op
Bugs
Bugs
By 3 of the 6 players the server crashes, 2 of them could still build however they could not save which means they lost a lot of progress. The reason why this bug happens is unclear.
By 1 Player it says in some lobby rooms that there was a player inside it but no one was there
