● Design Specification Testing Methodology Results
 A. Aesthethic:

To evaluate the effectiveness and the quality of the game’s aesthetic, I have spread a questionnaire to five
respondents. Based on the result of the questionnaire, there has been a positive indication showing a positive
outcome in regards to the product’s aesthtics. All respondents have agreed upon the strength of the product’s
aesthetic as three out of five respondents have rated 8/10 and two from five respondents have given a rating of 9/10.
Therefore, the findings have inferred that I have developed and designed a satisfying design based on the aesthetic
of the final game. Yet, as most of the ratings didn’t reach a scale of 10, I believe there are improvements that could
be made in the future.

B. Cost:

In comparison to aesthetics, I have decided to conduct a self-evaluation regarding the cost of production in creating
this game as only myself as a creator knew about it. Based upon the initial plan, the allocated budget for this game
was Rp. 150,000. When I have finished developing the game, it turned out that it cost no money to complete
everything. I believe when creating this product there were no expenses as I have utilized all of the platforms
available at home efficiently. As an illustration, during the development process, I used my own wifi, pc and other
resources available. Thus, it can be concluded that the cost of production is within the allocated budget.

C. Manufacturing:

Based on the initial plan designed in criterion B, to complete everything the allocated time was between 10 to 14
days of completion. Corresponding to the actual development process time, in total, I was able to complete the
whole product within 12 days of time. It took me 2 days to develop my final plan, 8 days to complete the rough
working and the remaining 2 days to fix any errors and final touches. Hence, based on the initial plan and the actual
execution of the product, 12 days of time is within the allocated time showing this project is a success.
 D. Customer & Safety:

Examining the customer and safety concerns of the product has been preceded by employing an open-ended
qualitative questionnaire to evaluate whether those two elements have satisfied the actual product. Those two
elements have been unified considering it correlates with each other. In regards to the questionnaire, all of the five
respondents have pointed out that the game developed is suitable for all age categories. There are several aspects in
common underlying their stance such as the game is free from harm, nudity and violence. Moreover, all age
category seem to be have access and can play this game due to its simplicity.

● Final Product Evaluation:

A. Product’s Strengths:

After conducting the survey and having a self-evaluation in regards to the product’s strength, there are sufficient
strengths regarding the game. Firstly, based on the questionnaire that was given to five respondents, the game is
suitable for all ages. This game is considered appropriate for all age categories considering this game is free from
sexual, nudity and violence aspects. As a result, this turned out to be an advantage as this game could be played by
individuals from different age groups. Apart from the eligibility for all age groups to play this game, the final
product’s strength is that the product is educational and not addicting which have low drawbacks.

B. Product’s Weaknesses:

Despite the strengths inherited by the video game that previously has been constructed, there are remaining
drawbacks preventing the game’s successs. In the same vein with the previous questionnaire that has been
distributed to five respondents, three out of five people have mentioned that they have encountered several glitches
and lags when playing this game. Thus, this drawback should be improved in the future to reduce any forms of
drawbacks and poor quality to ensure the target audience’s comfort when playing the game.
