SimpleDnDv3 Feedback

                                                           SimpleDnD v3 Feedback           2/28/22


For the playtest of the third version of DnD, I had the same partners Ismael Diaz and Cesar Rivas. Before we started the game, Ismael chose the warrior and Cesar picked the ranger class as their pieces. As the game starts, it seems fine from my point of view because the players will be rolling high numbers to defeat the enemies and are collecting items while doing so. So, because of that, I think it turned out well. As the game progresses to the end, I have received feedback from my partners.

For Ismael’s feedback, he stated that there were too many chests for players to grab, meaning that they will be abusing the items to their advantage. He also told me to make the enemies a bit easier since they were not much of a threat throughout the whole game. After hearing that, I checked my map and saw that there were way too many chests for players to open and checking the enemy's stats, I have seen what Ismael meant when they were no threat to the players. So, I decided to keep that in mind the next time I make another DnD. Below are the chest locations with the orange colors and yellow for the checkpoints.

For Cesar’s feedback, he stated that the map is too big for players to get confused and there was not much lighting on the paths, so most of the time, he was confused on where to go. Looking back at what he said, I did see that as a problem when I was observing them playtest. So, while thinking about my map layout, I did see it as a problem and thought to myself about how I can try to improve it. After thinking about it, there were some things that I needed to change. Below is an
example of my map with blue indicating enemies and red for the players.

For one, I could make smaller paths so that players will not get lost and spend more time on finding which path to go to. I could also add less chests so that it can be more challenging for the players. But also add more lighting so that players can see and know where to go when looking for the boss.

For my level, I have added all the weapons listed on the project. The reason why I added all of them was to make players understand how the weapons work and how they can use them to their advantage when playing the level. How did adding weapons affect your level? Adding the weapons has made me think more about the level because with the addition of different weapons, it makes me change up the level and the enemies along with it. For example, the O. Slider weapons can be used as a board to slide through the water and because of that, the O. Sliders can be used in many ways. What went right? Things that went right was the way w...

                                                                           2D Mega Man Level V1 Feedback Players My players in this 2D Mega Man Level V1 were Daniel Lee, Weilin Tang, Emanuel Ventura, and Leland Levassar and thanks to them, I was able to obtain a lot of feedback on what I can do to improve the game level and design. What went right? Things that went right in my level was that it was not too hard nor easy for the players. What went wrong? To be honest, there were many things that went wrong. One part that went wrong was the slow transitions when entering into the next part of the level. Down below is one part of the level that my players seem to dislike due to the fact that it requires good timing for jumps and the slow transition kind of messes them ...

By adding the keys and doors, it made players look around the level more to find the keys to the doors. Which can make the players engage the level more than just fighting enemies and jumping platforms. What went right? On the first part of the level, I have added jumping platforms so that the players will have to jump in order to make it to the level, but with better transitioning, since my last level’s problem was the slow transitioning that could potentially mess up the player’s timing when they are jumping. I have also implemented a checkpoint, another problem with my previous level. For this other part of...
