Playtest 2.0

For our second external playtest, we worked rapidly with the little time we were given to make more solid playing cards.

Unfortunately, I had to leave 1 hour early, and didn't get to participate in this playtest. It seems my teammates tried out the mute token though.

Thank you to @heyjonna @designerpernille (and more whom I cannot see on the image) for participating in the user test! Thank you to @andreadesignwork for photo documenting the playtest 📸.

Ideas for further development

Give the playing cards more uniform dimensions.

Area 51: Playtesting 1.0

Thank you to @tenkdesign @designermaria-blog @designerlarsprosjekter @braathendesign @ruskesara @monamehus for participating in our very first playtest of Area 51! And an especially big thank you to @williamdalsto for taking on the GM role, and who impressively managed to memorize the different role cards in only a few minutes 👏! Fortunately most told us they found the game solid and fun, despite some balancing issues.

The Mute

We tested out turning the token mechanic into actual role cards, but it turned out it didn't work very well. The person who became the mute reported how it wasn't very fun, because no one else had pretended to be mute and no one found him suspicious, so he had nothing else to do other than listen to the other Earthlings discuss.

Participating in the discussion as a mute was too challenging, and could even come off as disturbing. Moving forward, we will leave the mute card as a token as I originally intended.

Furthermore, having myself experienced how it feels to became a normal Villager several times in a row while playing One Night Ultimate Werewolf during the gaming festival, having no night actions is kinda boring. The cards without any night actions understandably exist in order to give the werewolves an opportunity to pass off as innocent, but as a villager I ended up not participating in the discussion at all, because I had nothing to add. Instead, perhaps because people overestimated by calculative lying abilities, I came off as sort off suspicious most of the time by the other villagers.

Sleep phase

The role cards needs to be more solid and uniform, so that the Earthlings cannot tell that their card has been tampered with due to the deformation of the paper's shape.

Every player who performs a night action should also be instructed to slightly wriggle the other player's cards before closing their eyes again. This is to make sure that the other players cannot tell which cards has been tampered with, by simply memorizing the cards position and angle before they closed their eyes.

Ideas for further development

Give every role some sort of ability, so that everyone can participate in the discussion, while not making it too challenging for the Aliens to pass off as innocent.

Make the playing cards with a more solid material, that can be picked up and moved without its shape deforming.

Develop the second layer of game mechanics more, by creating more tokens like the mute token.

Figure out the mechanics of adding some more rounds / multiple sleep phases.

How do you do user testing?

User testing, or ease of use testing, is a key part of structuring, settling, and propelling an incredible automated item. It's tied in with identifying usability issues at any phase of the item improvement cycle with the point of improving the general client experience. This is finished by checking how to delegate clients to cooperate with the item in a reasonable setting. Along these lines, you can see precisely what works and — more importantly — what doesn't.

The issue numerous creators and item improvement groups have, in any case, is leading client testing that will recognize real item issues and configuration imperfections. This is justifiable. There are a ton of factors that can impact the quality and legitimacy of a convenience test. Things like a financial plan, tight cutoff times, members, deficiencies in staff, ineffectively organized inquiries, muddled models, and diverse testing situations can — and for the most part, do — devalue the conclusive outcomes.

To guarantee you set up a substantial user test you have to comprehend the user testing process. I've written down 6 simple-to-follow ventures for effective user testing. How about we get straight into it.

Stage 1: Define Testing Objectives

Stage 2: Choose a Testing Method

Stage 3: Find Representative Users

Stage 4: Create Task Scenarios

Stage 5: Replicate the Testing Environment

Stage 6: Analyze the Findings

User Acceptance Testing: Test, Analyze, Repeat

Effectively leading user testing doesn't need to be advanced science. It's very simple once you characterize your destinations, pick your testing technique, make your assignment situations, plan your inquiries, and report the outcomes.

Usability Testing

Usability testing is a crucial phase in any development process, as it checks how user-friendly a product is by testing it with real users. It is important to be sure that different people will be able to use an application without any difficulties, otherwise the product will not be successful. How does it work? The procedure is quite simple: users are asked to test an application and complete certain tasks. A researcher makes observations and takes notes. In general, it is done to identify the points at which users have problems or experience confusion. In cases where several people face similar complications, it means that these usability issues must be fixed as soon as possible. Usability testing is categorized into a few types: · Comparative usability testing that is applied to compare the usability of one product with another. · Explorative usability testing determines the content and functionality that a new product must include in order to meet users` demands. · Usability evaluation is simply a test of a new or updated product before or after its launch.

ユーザーテストで一番大事なのは“観察”だと思う。｜Shusaku Umemoto｜note

The word “validate” discourages an open attitude to design change based on user testing and sets the expectation that the proposed design is the right one.
