Suggestions included different resources across terrain types and a simple mission that gives exploration a purpose.<\/li><li style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"><strong>Clarify motivation and atmosphere<\/strong><br>Feedback asked what players are looking for, why they are exploring and what keeps them engaged. Environmental storytelling and relaxed delivery missions were suggested, while one participant felt that a clear driving and collection goal could work without a larger story.<\/li><li style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"><strong>Define progression and recovery<\/strong><br>Participants wanted clearer end goals, progression and possible failure conditions. Questions also covered map structure, finite resources, day and night changes, and how players could recover if they ran out of fuel.<\/li><li style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"><strong>Keep the prototype focused<\/strong><br>Feedback recommended prioritising the core exploration and resource collection experience within the available time, rather than attempting to complete the entire game.

However, a key concern was the lack of a clear narrative direction and playable missions. Several participants recommended adding story context and tasks for the next playtest, giving players a stronger reason to explore and a more concrete goal to work towards.<\/p><\/section><\/div><\/main>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far Frontier Sihan Ma\u2019s Game Design Document ResearchWeekly DevelopmentGame Testing &amp; FeedbacksPrototype UpdatesPrototype \u2190 Game Testing &amp; Feedbacks Game Demo Test Feedback 1 Feedback board from the game demo presentation and playtest.
