This was the initial prototype for Cogshel. We got it onto Unity Play which allowed us to distribute it easily via web link. I shared it with friends, family, and fellow course members, asking for any feedback they’d like to offer. The most popular comment I had was related to the audio and graphics. A lot of people said it was too ‘babyish’ for a 8-15 year old and that it was more suitable for a toddler a child under 5.
There were positive responses to the nature environment and many people already said that it was quite refreshing and calming just being in that setting.
I plan to revise the background graphics and make it more appealing to my target audience. I will need to change the character designs too, however, I will start with the environment first. More on environment updates can be found here.
The audio was composed by a music student I pan to work with. I have told her about some of the feedback I’ve received about the audio being too babyish and we agreed to wait on the new graphics before continuing with the sound, so that she can get a better idea of the aesthetic and match the audio more accurately.
