Thoughts out! Playtesting and Tutorial design
Overview
Thoughts Out! is a 3D platform puzzle game set in a dreamlike world where your everyday office troubles morph into an annoying dragon. This dragon can alter the surrounding environment, making your adventure either easier or more challenging. How can you drive it out of your daydream and reclaim your peace of mind?
We conducted multiple playtesting sessions for our newly developed game, Thoughts Out!, to gather feedback. This input was crucial for refining our onboarding tutorials and enhancing the overall user experience.
My role as User Experience Designer
Collaborating with a team of eight individuals, we embraced various roles to enhance the project. My primary objective here was to
- Design the tutorials to communicate:
- player mechanics
- world mechanics
- Game Narrative
- Improve user experience
To achieve this, we went on to do multiple playtesting session to understand player challenges and their understanding of the story. This led me to invest my efforts on the following tasks:
- Playtesting, and feedback collection
- Tutorial design, based on feedback gathered
- User experience design
