The End.

MOJO was a success and a great experience! The feedback obtained was amazing and it was incredibly satisfying to see the players enjoying the game we created. We were able to perform 26 tests and have a lot of data to analyse for the final report. In the end, all of the work put into this project was worth it. 

We also want to acknowledge the incredible artists that worked very hard to co-design the island environment with us and produced incredible posters. 

It was a great opportunity to be able to work with this team. With this project, I was able to enrich my knowledge in the gaming field and learned a lot. Now it’s time to power through the final report.

Survived MOJO

This week was very stressing but in the end, everything went well. We were able to finish the island environment and to implement the different components we had envisioned.
MOJO was a lot of fun and it was great to experience it with the artists too. The feedback obtained was also very positive. Overall, I’m very happy with the result.

MOJO WEEK

At the beginning of the week, I was correcting last-minute bugs in order to assure that our game prototype was ready for MOJO. MOJO was a great experience and a fun day. I didn’t expect to receive such positive feedback and enthusiastic players.
In the next two weeks, I will be focusing on the report to assure we finish the course with an exceptional grade.

Finishing the last details for MOJO

This week was all about finishing up the last details for MOJO! It was hard and we were afraid of not doing everything we wanted to but in the end, we were very happy with the result!
Now, it’s time to work on the final report.

Poster and Start Sheet

Final Meeting with the Artists

This week we had our last meeting with the artists to close the last details about the island art and the poster for MOJO.

Island Design

I’m finishing the island design and introducing elements that enrich the player experience. Currently, I’m designing the temple and puzzle that the player must solve in order to get a reward.
I also added a mini-map that guides the player through the island and elements that enrich the game storyline.

MOJO and Data Collection

Currently, I’m working on the MOJO materials and activities, namely the quick start sheet describing the principles of the game and how to play. Additionally, I’m working on the necessary methods for data collection of playtests to future analysis, such as logs and google forms.

Fine-tuning the enemies

This week I was responsible for integrating the enemies in the game and fine-tuning their behavior in order to define the right amount of difficulty. Additionally, I had to integrate the enemies with the visual appearance of the island and apply animations to introduce consistency in the visual experience.

Finishing game mechanics

This week I was responsible for finishing the game mechanics such as the interactions with the inventory and the crafting system. The player can now collect and store items in his inventory, cut woods to gather logs and use the crafting system to create a campfire or a shelter.
