Executive Summary
- Competitive analysis showed there is a niche of a messaging app and game combination that can be filled:
- Discord: Excels in intuitive and large scale communication, but game integration is clunky and unsupported.
- SnapChat: Excels in picture focused and temporary conversations, but user score is irrelevant.
- Pokemon Go: Excels in being a social game, but lacks a chat feature.
- Heuristic evaluation put more focus on Discord, showing that it:
- has strengths:
- A wide array of customization.
- Provides a lot of support for new users on desktop.
- but also weaknesses:
- Most of the customization is locked behind a paywall.
- New users have less support on mobile.
- No safety nets for removing or blocking a friend.
- has strengths:
- Personas and scenarios allowed for a higher fidelity visualization of the users and their needs:
- Ages can range from high school to just entered the workforce.
- To be able to socialize even if they can't converse.
- A casual character leveling experience.
- Sketches and diagrams showed that our app could:
- Arrange its components to smoothly flow into each other.
- Comfortably faciliate interactions.
Executive Summary
- Wireframes provided high fidelity visualization of the expected look of the application to facilitate more precise evaluation.
- Two outside evaluators conducted cognitive walkthroughs with the aforementioned wireframes and the previous phase's personas and scenarios to determine that while there were a few hiccups in navigation--i.e. a page missing a back arrow, navigation bar widgets not being labeled, and the "fight me" button to enter the fight stage not being distinct enough to make out from a title--the general layout of the application conforms with standards of messaging applications and should be easy to navigate.
- During a demonstration, the software engineering team asked a crowd of 65 observers UX provided questions to get the following informal feedback:
- Users wish for multiple trainable scores and group chats.
- Incorporated games should be active, not idle.
- There is a potential for monetization through profile customization.
