Purpose

The main purpose of this user test is to investigate and evaluate whether the Tutorial page has a positive impact to the overall game wellness. This user test is very important for this project to improve the overall user experience and game understanding which is very important to maintain the user interest.

Process

User will be taken randomly, made sure that the user never play the game before. All user testing will be done online by interview in the zoom meeting. User will then asked to try and observe the game:

1. Overall game without the Tutorial page.
2. Overall game with the Tutorial page included in the main menu.
3. We will not give any clue on how to play the game what the game is all about.
4. Note down all important observations during the game trial process.
5. Ask an open-ended key questions specifically about the Tutorial functionality.

#Conclusion Concluding from all the testing results, we found out that a Tutorial page is very important to be implemented in the game. Tutorial page is used to avoid any confusion on how the mechanics of the game works which provide a better understanding of the game and the game wellness.

For further improvements, we can improve the tutorial page by adding several more pages to show each single status/npc in the game to increase the overall game understanding. However, this may cause an uninteresting game where all the mechanics has been shown in the tutorial page which may reduce the game difficulty.

Some other further improvements, we can also improve the tutorial page by using a first 15seconds clip of the game and introduce the tutorials while the user is playing the first 15seconds of the game. Large amount of coding needed for this one.

Overall, the testing result is pretty good. The tutorial page made the game much easier to understand for all the new user. We decide to include the tutorial page and improve the design of the tutorial page with a better style to provide a better user experience and understanding.
