Prepared Questions

Interactable Objects:

1. How do you feel at first sight at main game screen?
2. Are you happy with Main Game Screen? Any opinion about improvement?

Response 1:

1. The screen looks too dark; I can’t see the NPC I should control.
2. No really, I am hoping camera can move backward so I can view more space at map. But I really love the scoreboard and timer display at the top. Improvement: The screen brightness needs to be increased and user should be able to look at more space at map.

Response 2:

1. Screen looks dark; I can’t find what should I do.
2. No, I like the UI design: timer display at the top. Improvement: The screen brightness needs to be increased， and the scoreboard should change style like “text font color change to pink”. White color looks board.
