Watch and Read: What Do Prototypes Prototype?

How do players feel about the limitation of the medium they must respond to the prompts in?
- This is important to answer because if users think this rule is too constraining it may reduce their ability to actually have fun in gameplay.
- The overall prototype to be play tested should be able to provide insight regarding this question
- I think players will be more inclined to lean toward the side of having more flexible options
What is the general consensus regarding having the them of the game constrained to one broad topic? Do players typically like ‘special edition’ themed games?
- This is important to answer because it answers the question about generality/accessibility of the game
- The overall prototype should only include prompts actually relating to Stanford since that is our theme
- I think since the play testing group is limited to Stanford Students, there is an inherent bias that may leave this question unanswered for the time being
How engaging is the game in the downtime of voting/waiting for everyone to complete their responses?
- This is important to answer because we never want the player to become bored and if so it needs to be addressed and amended
- The prototype will have to have enough prompts to stimulate an accurate time frame in which round should take place to complete
- I think the response will correlate with the complexity of the prompts given
