Take this survey and it will help me with my homework?
« on: May 09, 2016, 05:30:17 am »

(Well, you don't absolutely have to, I'm just trying to spread it as far as I can to do the data gathering segment of a project related towards designing an application, the looks and way of interacting with an aplication anyway)

Anyway, the idea I'm running with for my project is doing a mock up for an application/website that I guess I'll call Gametag. It's a preliminary game for a website that in all likelyhood wo't exist just in case someone somehow gets their hopes up over a student putting something together for it, still I wanted to pick something that I figured was useful for me, and judging by the forgotten name of this game, probably useful to a chunk of you guys.

Okay, so what is it supposed to be? In case you're wondering anyway, it's meant to be a website that let's users tag games, and I mean all games, not just what's on steam, with tags in order for people to browse games with the same tags and it would hopefully match up with games they are looking for or games with those elements included. It's the basic idea but I also wanted to see what umm, features should be added to this imaginary website I will need to draw up, as well as how it should be handled.

Also, leave a post on here if you think you'd be fine with me interviewing you for a followup or a walkthrough of a low-fidelity version of the app/website, since I kinda need to do that as well. It won't be available right away since for one I had all of 4 hours of sleep the two days, 4 hours each day, so I'll try and catch up on my sleep, but maybe I can follow up afterwards if anyone is available later on at, I dunno, possibly 8 hours from after this post goes up? Would be pretty nice of you if you could.

While I do get the function of Game Tags and it's been described here well, there's a noticeable lack of explanation as to what a tag is on the survey site proper. Are there other websites you're sharing this to?

Also noticed on further questions that you seem to have a format for the website that you haven't disclosed, such as User accounts.

What is the followup for? I'm not sure how this is supposed to be executed 'in practice', and is it alright for a foreigner to be interviewed for this?

No. 5 lacks an option for me to write a blank, since I prefer not signing up in websites actual.

No. 6, what is Give me Diff. Options for? I'm not sure you'll end up with functional data with that, beyond stating the obvious in your conclusions that XX% would prefer Gametag to offer different options on tracking games, in which you would then have to embellish as to what that exactly means since you didn't provide a blank for the user to type out what exactly they want.

No. 7, Xbox is supposed to be XbOne? Or 360?

The last question is tricky; as we don't have a template on how the website will look like, I'm not even sure if we can suggest a functional forum board for the theoretical website.

I am not yet sure as to whether I'll accept yet but color me interested for the time being.
Also some slight grammar nitpicks as there are no question marks.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

I'd be reasonably interested.

Not sure if I'd use the thing, as I'm not a big consumer, but there's a chance so I did what I could to be helpful to represent my particular minority opinion.
