Final Prototype

Design Process and Play-Testing

Original Inspiration

This project's concept was originally inspired by a performance artist that aimed at creating physical manifestations of the side-effects of air pollution in their city. We had originally started with this environmental messaging in mind with an engaging mechanic that would allow the player to explore around.

Paper Prototype First!

Before development could begin, the mechanics had to be determined as engaging. We used Jenga blocks and our fellow cohort volunteers to play-test through the game simulated by our team. This determined necessary buttons and visual indicators as well rules and conditions to implement into code. We had a total of 16 user testers exploratory information.

The Big Pivot

Near the end semester, there was a planned pivot by our instructor. We were given the challenge of moving away from the environmental messaging, make it more random and spontaneous as well as incorporate monetization mechanics. Hence a buff system was incorporated quickly and a new main character was born. The game also received a rename from "Cloud Janitor" to "Clouds Awakening Trouble"
