This week our team prioritized adjusting features and mechanics to the feedback received from the previous 2 playtests for our post alpha build.

Some of the feedback we used to adjust were:

• Make pots bigger so they don't look jumpable
• Add always visible switch state instructions to UI
• Bigger tutorial tooltips/sticky notes
• Bunsen burner changes state gradually, goes to next state rather than always

Aside from this, we continued work leading into our beta feature complete build by

• Continuing work on implementing and creating animation
• Creating new assets for our plant based levels
• Creating the final level for our lab setting
• Working on UI changes
• As always, bug fixing

Challenges:

• Implementing animation gave lots of trouble with the state switching mechanic
• Figuring out where we want to go from here, how many more levels to make, and what they will look and play like
• Playtesting with friends/family throughout the week, figuring out what the implement now and what to save
