Project description
Design a more user-friendly player experience with improved visuals for the Sustainable Port of Rotterdam game for the people who work at the Port of Rotterdam, who are not familiar with the game to make it so they comprehend the game more easily.
Context
Game company ‘The Barn’, settled in Delft South Holland, have created a board game that handles the difficulty of making decisions to make a busy port thrive both economically and environmentally. The board game has also been turned into a digital version as well, but people (mostly the ones who work at the Port of Rotterdam) frequently find
themselves confused or overwhelmed by the game's complex rules and mechanics, and not all actions players are recommended to make are as natural as intended.
Results
Our goal for this project is to improve the existing tutorial to properly guide and teach these complex and diverse mechanics to new players. The user experience has also been improved to more easily convey information to the player.
