Hi Kendra!

I am not sure why it isn't showing on the submissions page for the jam...I'll double check through and see what's going on with it.

As for working with the BCI - Yes! We have gotten at least 4 kids to play through, and have their feedback recorded. We are working right now with sites in Edmonton and Toronto to get their feedback from the children who are judges at those sites as well, and I'll hopefully be able to get you some of the thoughts soon. (As well as let you know what is thought of in general!).

Anecdotally in the mean time, I can say that some of our kids enjoyed your game! In particular, they found the art and voice-over quite funny and liked that it seemed like a story. Talking with one of my colleagues in Toronto, she said she was quite partial to it as well, as she really enjoyed the 'storybook' aspect of the game. I think your instincts aiming for a younger audience was great, as it really does help it stand out as a unique experience. (Plus we all love the voice work :D ).

I'd be glad to work with you some more about how to make the game more accessible for the BCI. Right now, the biggest issue that is occurring is there was some miscommunication from my end on making selection options randomly flash . In particular, I wasn't very clear in our previous posts which has led to some confusion among various developers. There are two different BCI input methods being employed in the game jam - one which relies on random flashing, and one which does not. In your game, when the selection choices are flashing randomly it is difficult to time which selection you want due to delays in the BCI access method we are using for YummyYucky!

What could potentially help this (if you get time!) would be to switch to sequentially flashing choices (particularly in the 'Eating Food' section with the arrows). I'd be happy to discuss more with you too if you'd like to have a chat!

Hope you're doing well, and I look forward to hearing from you and updating you soon with some concrete feedback from the kids!

Cheers,

Eli

I am beyond delighted to hear that some children have tried my game! Have a great day and I look forward to working with you more in the future.
