Eh, gotta do GUI work this week, my least favorite part of gamedev.

What are you guys up to?

As Spire is a heavily lore-based game. I'm finishing up ACT 2 of the game's novel. Excited to start crafting quests based on the novels narratives.

I keep shifting GUI away.

That sounds fantastic. Crafting stories is exciting indeed!

Prepping a prototype with the core mechanics of my game for play testing. I realized I need a lot more input to understand how players experience the difficulty curve of my puzzles, and how quickly they pick up the mechanics.

Not sure how to do this well, so any input is greatly appreciated

Right now I have a prototype with ~50% of the puzzles of the final game. It looks a bit rough but it works. I am adding some instrumentation to see where people try to click and where they tend to get stuck or quit. I also added surveys (2 questions each level, a longer one after they’ve played)

Nice, that's a pretty exciting stage. You pretty much have it covered with telemetry and survey, if you can, it could be even better to see someone play, especially a kid that may click EVERYTHING.

My 6 y/o son loves playing my game, and I can see very well what isn't intuitive enough. ;)

Thanks for the code. :D

I'm doing more prototyping this week. Gotta get these demos off the ground so people can try them out.
