This week, Campfire continued to improve our intent system, editor tool and develop further on the asynchronous messaging skill and the nonverbal pattern game skill (think of it as an alien communication game). On the design side, we worked on recording scratch voice acting (recordings will run into Monday) to try and fold in our story draft into Phan’s editor tool. After meeting with Brenda this week, we also recorded assets to try and develop a targeted playtest for how users respond to Alexa when she says the same sentence, but in different emotional tones (think flirtatiously, menacingly, etc).
Short list from the week:
