Evaluation [Game]

For my evaluation report, i created a series of questions

-What are somethings you like?

-What are somethings you don't like?

-Did you learn anything useful?

-Is the layout, user friendly?

-List some things that can be improved


Then i went through a process of having my classmates play my game, then answer the questions.
They gave me plenty of useful and meaningful feedback. If we had been given more time i could improve my game significantly.

Here are some of the responses:

Alexander
I like the controls the game play was easy to understand I didnt like how easy it was it wasn’t a challenge. I learned nothing. The layout was clever and worked. add challenging characters or tasks!

I like the idea of learning something about business.

At the beginning the game doesn't look like it had any use.

I guess i would have learned something useful if the game had more levels.

It could have been nicer in terms of how it looks to make the game more interesting.

More levels, interface.

MAKE IT LONGER

If you read over the responses, you will notice that many of them advocate that i make the game longer. I would do that, if i had more time. Some other suggestions said that i should add more levels and complexity to the game. I seriously doubt the fact that this unit was tested before we were assigned it. The unit asks us to create a working game, that teaches the player about a topic of our choice. firstly, teaching anything using Kodu is entirely impossible.Kodu's programming format makes it very difficult and time consuming to create a interactive environment.Also due to the time constraints, i was not given the required amount of time to create a interactive environment that demonstrated my full potential.

In my personal opinion, i believe the game accomplished its goals of teaching business principal. Though it did not do it with extreme depth or complexion, it brought across the message that supply is one of the most important aspects of running a business. Many of the evaluations said they learned some concepts of business, this means that the target audience was affected.

When it comes to my performance throughout the project, i believe i could have done better. I did not do the appropriate tasks on time, and i did not complete all the tasks assigned to me. But the products i did complete, i believe i did as well as anyone could with the the amount of time given, and the tools provided.
I also beleive that i could have created a much more detailed and properly timed plan.

Also my project affected its audience by informing them with basic business principals.
