Play-test Goals

• Observe how players are able to use the UI to build in creative mode

• See what players make in creative mode

• See how players move around in explorer mode

• See how players interact with the lobby system

• See how players switch back and forth from modes

• See how a more casual crowd plays the game

Research questions

• Do testers enter a play state?

• What can testers create with the current editor?

• Do testers have easy access to the lobby?

• Is everything easy to understand for the player?

2. Guided playtest

   1. Game starts out in the castle build section

   2. Whenever a player has a question the game designers gives answer

As a user, I would like a different way to rotate objects

As a user, I would like it if we can rotate objects 8 different directions instead of 4

As a user, I would like different color options

As a user, I would like more walls, floors and different grass options

Not really a bug, but 1 player thought she crashed the game when she removed an island because the walls and objects that were there turned red.
