NPC User Testing

Team 11

Description

User testing was conducted in various users in order to validate features of NPCs that Team 11 worked on.

Questions

1. Do the NPC designs fit within the game?
2. Do you like how NPCs despawn at night?
3. What animations for NPCs should be included?

User Responses

User 1

1. I think some of the designs should be a bit higher quality with a more medieval theme to fit with the game more
2. Yes, as I think with the towers in the game and because they already help the player, they don’t need to help with combat
3. They should have animations for moving, and I think adding some ambient animations would add a lot of detail to the game

User 2

1. Only one of the designs fits with the Atlantis setting
2. It would be good if they all ran to a building instead of just disappearing.
3. Moving and interacting

User 3

1. Most of the designs don’t really fit with the time period the game is set in, and don’t really match the player
2. I think it’s fine as they would get in the way of combat
3. They should move around the map and could have jobs e.g. repairing buildings, which would require animations
