I also noticed some funkiness with the ramps. This was very jarring as it cut off the previous song to go to silence. There was a typo in my code which caused the final song not play. Now, the targets have a specific character on each one that makes them much clearer.Īnother issue I had was with the music. The original texture was too abstract and they don’t particularly read as targets. I also changed the textures on these targets. This blocks players from getting into this area until they’ve hit all the targets. To remedy this, I put up an additional target behind them that doesn’t drop until all of the targets are down. The way I had them allowed players to hit one or two and then get their ball stuck behind one that was still up. The first issue was with the drop targets. I was grateful for these, because I knew exactly how to fix my machine for the strong playtest.

I realized once I was there that I should’ve brought an external speaker to let the game’s music attract players. Unfortunately, my laptop’s internal speakers were not working that day, so I had the audio going to a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I think I needed to add more on my machine to draw players in. I’d say my biggest takeaway from the experience was something George Gomez talked about with us. Everyone who played the game seemed to like it. Overall my experience at the strong went well.
