Week1
This week was mostly spent getting to know our clients and understanding our design challenges. On day 1, our clients gave us a very exciting presentation about the lottery and the future of online gaming and gambling. After that, we set to work taking what they talked about in their presentation and turning this into goals for our final “player experience”.
While it’s still early in the development process, it was very helpful setting some basic goals for the project. For the current stage of development, our clients encouraged us to be very “blue sky”, so having some design targets, even basic ones, are necessary for doing brainstorming in the future. We also began digging through some of the lottery data and statistics our client gave us access to, which looks to be very useful in helping us do research and figure out trends.
For week 2, our goal is to do more concentrated brainstorming, focusing on the player experience goals we set out in week 1. We will also need to step up our research, and begin looking for games and products that will give us a better idea of how to achieve these goals.
