The main issue we faced was concerning how we were to gather metrics by using Steam Demo files. Our current method, measuring from the eye, would not give as accurate results as desired. This lead us to discuss other ways we could record this data, such as with heat maps or triggers. The team also spoke about the testing environment, with both lecturers giving suggestions as to how we could help test subjects feel more comfortable. This would ultimately have the empathy they show towards our NPC clearer, as a relaxed environment can help players convey more accurate emotions.
Items addressed:
i. Easter Work.
ii. Feedback.
iii. Test Ideas.
iv. Data Collection.
v. Metrics.
vi. Testing Environment.
