I was able to host a full playtest outside of class, and get some really useful feedback. I realized that during the last playtest I accidentally mentioned that my game had a player and a character. This time, I wanted to say as little as possible before my tester played the game.
Before he began, he told me that the card shuffling was confusing; it made sense when I explained it, but I still need to find a good way to write it out still. Something that I also noted was that he felt that his game ended around the number 7 (a lot more prompts than I've tested before, and it did seem like the conclusion to the narrative he was writing) - I may suggest that players play with only odd or only even numbers to allow for more escalation. My player took a break halfway through, and during this time asked for clarification about the prompts that mention the "waking world." He said that he could tell there was a distinction with the use of the word "you," but whenever worlds or aspects of his life were mentioned he was unsure if he was supposed to use parts of his life. He suggested that I have some sort of note to the player during the rules that they may need to be prepared to write about themselves; I originally wanted the player to be caught off guard, but I think it's more important for them to interact with the main mechanic of the game. I'm probably going to also standardize how I refer to the different worlds (dreamscape vs. dreamer's world vs. your world). After he finished playing, the tester told me he wished that hearts and diamonds had more of a use as well. I think I am going to make those affect how the dreamer feels about the player during prompts (ex: if the dreamer has mostly interacted with the player's fears, they will be afraid of the player). I was also told that some prompts were a bit vague in what the actual action was, so I'm going to go through all of them and fix any that are unclear. I plan to try and run one more test after I make these changes, and then make the finished graphics for the game. I plan on drawing some trees, water, fog, etc. to put the words in.
My plan for this week was to make the rules fit the theme of the game, and rewrite all the prompts (catching up from last week). I also knew that I wanted to figure out how to end the game. I decided to save playtesting out of class for this week, as I decided the class playtest would likely be helpful enough as a benchmark. I decided that the player could still end the game whenever they would like, but the cards that they have drawn would affect how the game ended for the character. I added a system to have the character become more or less afraid of the dream depending on what cards were drawn. I also changed the drawing system so that the prompts go in escalating order. Here are the rewritten rules:
To navigate the dream, find a deck of cards. Separate them by suite. Sort each suite in number order. Shuffle them together, making sure they stay in the same order.
You need to understand the dreamer. The dreamer is not you. Write down two people that they love. Write down two people that they fear.
Write down two places they love. Write down two places they fear.
Decide their greatest fears and greatest loves. The dreamer is not you.
To further understand the dreamer and the dream, draw cards.
These will explain what the dreamer sees. You will see through their eyes.
If you draw a spade, the dreamer will become more afraid of the dream. If you draw a club, the dreamer will become more in love with the dream.
Keep track of this, adding one when they love or subtracting one when they fear, starting with zero.
If the dreamer has run out of characters or places of a certain type, their dream may always reveal more to you. Create new facts about the dreamer if needed.
You may choose to wake the dreamer at any time. You may choose to stay in the dream at any time.
If the dreamer’s score is positive, they will want to stay in the dream. If the dreamer’s score is negative, they will want to wake up. If their score is zero, they will listen to you.
I wanted to use this playtest to see how the character vs. player worked, and it went really well! My tester created a character and said they didn't think the game needed more or less direction in that area, and the prompts were clear when they called for the character vs. the player. The tester did say that keeping track of the points was complicated, and that it would be helpful to have a visual to keep track of. I will likely do something I saw in another game where you keep the cards in piles and use them as the counters. I plan to do another playtest soon, and hopefully of the full game because I only did a few prompts for time reasons. I was really happy with the way that the real life started to bleed into the game, and I want to see more of that. I want to try and add more interactions, maybe outside of the prompts, but I will run that by my out-of-class tester.

This week, I was delayed quite a bit in getting work done by outside factors. My plan was to figure out how to mix the player and the character, and rewrite all the prompts. I did not rewrite all the prompts, but I did come up with how I wanted to merge the character and player.
I want the player to create a character, but then have the prompts sometimes ask for the player and sometimes the character. I want some prompts to force you to interact with the character. I rewrote the initial character creation, and I plan to change the game itself. I decided I want the actual mechanics to be much simpler, as I found that in some of the lyric games that I looked at. Right now I have drawing cards for prompts, but I kind of want the prompts to escalate. I am thinking about just having the player read them in order, but I'm not sure if that is "not enough of a game." I'm not sure entirely how I want the game to end, but I think it should either be when all the prompts are read, or when the player decides to stop (this is likely something I will decide in out-of-class playtesting this week). Here are the rewritten rules:
