Game Test Pirates

  • A bit of a learning curve for people who haven’t played DND before
  • Less character stats would mitigate the overwhelmingness of being thrown into a DND game with no experience
  • The boss at the end definitely needs less health. It took forever to even try and get its health down
  • Maybe a sheet that includes a short explanation of DND and a sort explanation of how the game is supposed to play out

Game Test Battle of the Suits

  • Unclear if aces count as 1 or 11
  • It is a LOT to keep track of, so a system to have your health/shields tracked would be easier
  • We went through the deck twice and no one won, so maybe a cap on how many times you can go through the deck
  • Clearer rules would benefit player experience

Game Test: Cat Rush

too many Food cards needs more Attack cards
sometimes not able to play due to having only food cards with full health
needs more players than 2 to be more interesting and involved
abilities are fun but game breakers if not enough players

Projection Sammy Homer

For my experiment I decided to do a projection of a car ride to RMU specifically when it rains for more immersion in the dome. I also wanted experimented with direction by turning the camera. I used my phone camera because I already had a specific spot for it and thought a circle around it would fit it on the dome. I didn’t realize my video was still not the right size until trying it out and it also made me realize that I need to consider length as the load time was very long.

I did another experiment that could have been a transitioned from the last experiment as it was me walking around RMU specifically going from Business School to the Gazebo. I realized only after that I recorded way too much and had to trim it done and speed it up. I also noticed that the camera was very unsteady compared to the other one (probably because I was holding it in this one) and the circle I tried to create turned to a weird oval that warp the image somewhat at the center.

Light Projection- Meredith Berkheiser

For my project, I decided to project a simple axoltol animation onto my wall. Designing the axolol was the easy part, as adobe after effects was diffultcult to learn at 1st. Overall, whike it is a simple project I think it looks cool for the purpose of an experiment.
