Research Summary:
For this study, we tested participants to see how far they progress through tanker tasks. There was a massive drop in completing tanker tasks as many participants didn’t get past stage 6 out of 12 during their playtest. Tanker tasks were deemed unimportant as it doesn’t stop players from playing the game without completing them.
