Game Testing playtesting, ( source ) The first piece I read was 7 Different Types of Game Testing Techniques by Niranjan Limbachiya. The gaming industry is growing constantly, and game developers often feel like they need to get their games out faster than other to achieve a better response. But this is not really the smartest move as the consumer has the final decision whether the game was rushed or it wasn't simply ready to come out yet. This can of course lead to major dips in sales for that particular game. So this is why game testing is a vital step in the process as it can catch errors or bugs from a whole new pair of eyes!

The next thing I need to do for my prototype is to get my ball to jump. I constructed a sample path for my ball to roll down and it got me very excited to see my vision come to life slowly, but surely! I am looking forward to jumping back into designing my prototype next week and continuing building my game. I have been saving YouTube videos throughout the week that may help me with further steps with my game. Before finishing up this weeks project task, I quickly added textures to my ball and ground just to get a glimpse to what it could possibly look like, but I am not diving into the colours and textures just yet. Here are some screenshots of my prototype: Screenshots of ...
My Acronym. Made with Canva I really enjoyed making this one. I Will be making more for myself and for this module. I liked to keep my first one lighthearted but also thoughtful. Kindness is free.
