Hello everyone! I’m Marina Diagourta, the author of Hebe, which is my debut entry in IFComp and also my first experience with game authoring. This project is part of my thesis, where I’m also exploring game usability and player experience.
If you play my game, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could also fill out this evaluation form to help with my research.
Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy the game!
Just a note to say that because this form asks for an email address, which I don’t feel comfortable providing, I won’t be sending it. Asking for anonymous feedback would get more responses, I think.
Thank you for bringing this up Amanda!
Just a clarification: I am not collecting any personal information with the form, emails included. This is the default option when using Google Forms, but I triple-checked it anyway.
The downside of using Google Forms, unfortunately, is that you still need to log in to your Google account (Google things™), but I have no access to any information other than the answers provided to the questions in the form.
Despite all these, I sympathise if you still don’t feel comfortable filling out the form! If you ever get around to playing the game and have any kind of input, please feel free to reach me!
Edit: I checked again, and indeed you should have no problem submitting an anonymous form. If anyone is experiencing issues like that, please contact me.
One way to get around this could be to create a new gmail address, use that for the form, then delete it afterwards.
I started taking the survey but I stopped giving detailed answer partway through because it became really repetitive. It asked me to rate feelings on a scale of 0-5, and it included these three questions (among others):
“I felt irritated.”
“I felt frustrated.”
“I was annoyed.”
It was taking a long time to fill out and I had already answered similar questions, so I put ‘2’ on most of the last questions.
I’m interested, why did you want separate answers to those three questions? Are you doing a psychological study on the subtle differences between annoyance and frustration?
I think it’s a standard thing in survey construction. You ask the same question in different ways, then check whether someone answered them in roughly the same way. If not, they were not filling in the test seriously, so their answers get thrown out.
I dont like it. It doesn’t respect my time. But that’s why it’s done.
The competition is still ongoing, but the form now appears to be closed. Are you no longer seeking feedback?
