DESIGN PROCESS
During the conceptualization phase, we researched on existing games and came up with mechanics that would suit our game. Then we thought of the narrative and world design to create the type of atmosphere and experience we want to create for our user.
PROTOTYPING
I created and tested several prototypes. As I sat with players while they playtest the game, I made sure to look for behavioral cues and emotions expressed as they are important in finding out what players like and dislike about a game.
