After 3 months development I have decided to share my game to wider public and get some ideas what people think about it. So here are results of first week:

• 94 attempts to create game.

• 53 attempts to play game. Pretty good conversion rate IMHO.

• At least 4 people said that game is too complicated and/or unclear.

• Game is partially unplayable with iPhone because of technical differences how Safari works.

• There is risk that instead of having fun and communicating with each other people will be watching into their phone screens. I was aware of this risk when I was creating the game but it might be that I have not addressed it properly.

• I got suggestions to start blog (here it is), to start YouTube channel (I guess I need to do that as well)

• More minor suggestions what could be my target audience, how to attract more users and etc.

• People have no idea that “bot” is “computer player”. I was thinking that this is obvious.

• Computer players are too stupid to have fun while playing one-on-one (just two players). Basically if you use special action that identifies you to other player and fun is lost.

• UX notes.

Therefore my next steps with “Duke’s Dream”:

• Simplify “How To Play” section. Most probably I will list all the steps one-by-one.

• Remove “I’m ready”. If you connect to game then you are most probably ready.

• Solve iPhone related problems.

• Improve computer players so they would use special actions.

• Figure out what else could be simplified in game.
