Kirsty - Pitch Feedback

Pitch Feedback:

You did great guys! That was really positive, the tutors and guests seemed really involved in our idea. Here I have noted down the ideas they came up with and the suggestions they made but they really seemed to like our basics!!

Aesthetics:
Use other effects to affect vision – not just lack of light.

Small amount light generated from player.

Small illumination from an enemy’s eyes

Environment:

Longer walls/multiple smaller walls that shift.
Moving exits?

Large navigable terrain within rooms – pillars etc. More disruption; cause the player to think and strategies before moving forward.

Varying textures and additions like pipes to set aside one room from another.

False security – after a few rooms of increasing difficulty, present player with a room that is ‘safe’ then vastly increase level of difficulty in the next room.

Player Testing:

Test on different monitors.

Test 20 randomly generated rooms.

Once level is fully constructed, each group member plays through and critically documents their own experience/strategies to see how players will cope and test difficulty levels. Generate ideas on how to increase re-playability.

Additional Ideas:

How do enemies affect the player? One hit death or increasing damage – more exploration on how damage is translated to players. Also note strategies on how to deal with enemies.

Time element incorporated into game?

A goal, do you need to escape? Potential objectives? Give player more reason to continue playing than just to survive.
