Beta Feedback

There need to be indicators to show how much you’ve put into the drink so far.

Recipe cards are unclear. Put a “1” in the recipe card instead of “-“ for steam milk, whipped cream, pour milk, ice, etc.

Make recipe cards disappear when you click on the screen, so that you can transition to play with more ease.

Make the patterns more obvious. (Tips from a Barista screen?)

Leader board.

“Congratulations” is misspelled.

Need to update the amounts for tips on “time trial” mode.

“Try again” on “time trial” mode.

“Exit game” button on main menu.

Update vanilla syrup animation.

Sprint 3: Becoming Alpha

The good news is that our game is nearly complete! Our first playable was a success, though not without the occasional bug. Generally our feedback was positive, so we feel that we're on the right track.

Moving forward, our goals are clear: fix the bugs, add our final stage (cold bar), and add filler content! More sound effects are a must, and we must polish our ticketing system so that the player is challenged and feels the pressure. Our successes in the past had everything to do with the player really feeling their time limits, so we need to be sure to implement this in the final product.

Our team has created a Trello board in order to organize our tasks more effectively, and we all have things to work on. Programming fixes, audio collecting, and art assets are all clearly outlined, and everybody has a task.

Onward to the Alpha!
