Player Eviction Menu: Detailed Eviction Cards (Team 7)
At sprint1, our team completed the essential feature:
- Players can find the menu icon in the game interface and click it to enter.
- Then players could choose one NPC card to expel that they believe is a traitor.
- After clicking the select button, a confirming box will pop up to let players ensure their selection.
In Sprint 2, our team will design the detailed eviction card and mainly focus on implementing the function of displaying information/clues in the eviction menu. This user survey will help us to make foundational decisions related to the information page and how to display detailed information.
Based on the outcome of Sprint1, Imagine how the user would interact with this eviction menu to obtain detailed information/clues in the next step. The questions related to this feature were generated for a Google form and a Tencent questionnaire. The questionnaire asks about user interactions and other subjects' perspectives of this eviction menu.
Multiple participants will be invited to fill out the questionnaire and submit their responses when the questionnaire is completed. The amount of time allowed to complete the survey was unrestricted. All comments are anonymous, and just the replies will be utilized to create graphical interpretations.
Tencent Questionnaire (the basic style of the eviction menu) link
According to the result of Q1
It is mainly for investigating the extent to which users think information/clues in this menu are helpful for selecting. By analyzing the data, most respondents thought it would be easier and more effective to select the traitors if information/clues were allowed to be accessed again in this menu. Hence, our team will try to implement this function that allows players to browse information/clues.
According to the result of Q2
It is mainly for deciding how to display the content of information/clues, like text or pictures. According to the collected data, the option "Text + Pictures" reached 86%, meaning the combination of text and pictures will help players better understand the content of the information/clues, or help them recall the storyline and how they collected that information during gameplay. Therefore, in sprint2, our team will collaborate with other teams, like team 5, to try to display the information/clues by combining text and images.
According to the result of Q3
It asked participants whether they realized that each NPC card in the eviction menu could be clicked to browse this NPC-related information/clues. Only 62% of people regarded the card could have other features, apparently not all players are willing to try to tap the current card, which may cause new features to be ignored，like checking the clues. This data noticed that our design needs to be refined by adding interactions between the card and players, such as changing the color of cards, lighting the card edges, or interactive animations when players hover over NPC cards.
