This blog is dedicated to Jesse and Tori's Wednesday evening section of Principles of Experience Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Winter 2008.
This game had an interesting features; each team players were to pick a different colour of a bat and were to put it in a box. the colour of this game was colourful which grabbed many of our attention.
When I played this game I enjoyed it because it just wouldn't go in easily. It made me to try over, and over (although I couldn't get it in). It made me to concentrate on the game itself, but I think the pointing system is kind of hard to track, because many times the bat went out of the border. I think it was a simple idea, that was successfully presented.
In terms of Personas, I think it fits to all the age groups- even little kids to adults can enjoy this game. I think it is more suitable for elementary school kids, to have their concentration developed and have fun at the same time.
The colours of this game were great. They worked with the theme of the game and were quite eye catching. There was a good sense of mapping used as well. I knew what I was to do because everything was labeled in a simple and understandable manner. It was a good layout. Overall I believe it was succesful. The only thing I would have improved was the box in which the bats were thrown into, was just a bit bigger.
WHY
It looked interesting and challenging. I like the fact you made it simple (Ockham's Razor)and with that still were succesful in making it appealing. The instructions were also a great help in playing the game. The game uses iteration, I had to continually try to get the bats in until my work was achieved.
WHO
The prototpye would appeal to the slackers I think the most. When I think slacker I think sitting around, on the couch and this game can just be played from anywhere. Which is totally great, because I'm the laziest kid ever. You can just be sitting around, watching TV and throwing the crazy bats into the box. It's like that card game where you throw the cards in a can or hat or whatever. Or when people have those small basketball nets hung on their doors. But then again it could appeal to anyone in that case, because all the persona's are our age so we all just sit around like that so it works for everyone.
The bat cave game was really fun, it was my favorite, why is it fun? the game tests your ability to aim and score in a goal, everyone will go for the 100 points mark,,,and its the hardest.... AND I MADE IT!!!!! the bats you need to score with are shaped wierd so they go off in different directions which makes it challenging.
It is fun because it is simple and easy to play, anyone from any age group can do it.
who is it fun for? I think it would be fun for any of the users especially the slacker because there is not effort involved,,,, except keeping score and he might forget,,
