Why Prototype?

Need to create playable demo. Currently I have blocked all forms of communication, so I didn't focus on getting a playable demo for others. I learnt I should be breaking down problems and pressing play more often. Also learnt that the aesthetics in the original asset make up a large part of the immersion. I need to find a way to either find a new asset for the environment OR change the idea of the game. I think with the name and playing with the assets it might be interesting if layers were removed or filtered. Whichever way forward I think background layers could be linked to the playable level (such as clouds mountains and trees) and added or removed as other layers are. Final takeaway is the gameplay feel being ‘fun’ is top priority.

Answering 3 questions, with 3 prototypes. I had a hard time coming up with the questions but thinking on it throughout a day helped me get it going.

First attempt at combining brick breaker and pong. Didn't create as much strategy as I expected, it's sort of like an additional component to pong rather than creating different gameplay. In next prototype would like to experiment with possible ways players can control ball movement.

A simple paper prototype for my project and I'm taking first steps in the digital prototype.

Adding basic movement and animations for the core player controls for the game - moving, jumping, and attacking. The questions came out of a player test and will be answered as the prototype is further developed.

how intuitive the game is? how challenging the game is? the feedback helped me answer the questions. I learn that making a game too complex can confuse the players and make them loose interest.
