Hridae Walia - Behaviour - 10/31/2018

Topic
Growing up I was always taught about sustainability and conservation of natural

resources since we are in an age where these issues are having an increased
influence on the world. The topic that interested me the most has always been
water conservation and I was also inspired by the water crisis that was taking
place at the time in Cape Town, South Africa.

Research

Objective
• Find the extent of knowledge people have regarding water usage
• Learn about different water usage behaviours that come with different
lifestyles
• Discover the extent of information provided regarding their water usage
• Discover the anchor points for inspiring change in their habits

Interviewees
Pat Galante Saahil Gupta

• Age - 85 • Age - 28
• Female • Male
• Number of people in household - 1, often • Number of people in household - 1
has guests • Rents a small apartment
• Owns 3 acre home in San Francisco • Lived in California for 5 years
• Lived in current house for 50 years
“I see a lot of people that leave the tap on & waste water, It’s
“It sounds like I really save a lot but I think I can do a lot better”
kinda dumb”

Conservation Awareness

• “My bill only shows the payable amount, there is
• “I’ve been aware of the California drought and no information about my consumption”
I’ve tried to make small lifestyle decisions to • Only time I’ve noticed available information is
save water” when I try to pay the bill on the PG&E website
• Only provided data about water consumption is • “The draught doesn’t really affect me but I am
on the bill aware of it”
• Only directly available conservation tips are on • “I’ve always tried to save water no matter where
the bill I am, it’s just a part of my lifestyle”
• Measures water usage through PG&E Bill “I try • “Wastage isn’t good for anyone and I end up
to maintain $50-$60 per month.” paying more”

Water Usage
• Water is mostly used for ;
• Water is mostly used for
• 1. Washing clothes and dishes
• 1. Showers
• 2. Laundry • 2. Dish and hand wash
• 3. Toilet
• 3. Showers
• 4. Drinking (~4L a day)
• 4. Watering plants
• Once she left the faucet on while away from her • Never uses the dish washer, its a waste of time
and energy, washes manually
house but the organization forgave her
• Changed water fittings for comfort, not efficiency • Can’t change fittings because apartment is
rented
• Reuses water from dishes and laundry for watering
plants
• 5 minute showers on average
• 5 minute showers on average
Bill comparison
Pat - House

Bill comparison
Saahil - Apartment

Significant points
• Both don’t know exactly how much

water they use
• Both passively preserve water as a
part of their lifestyle
• Neither use fittings dedicated to
saving water
• PG&E does not provide enough
information about conservation
• Main measurable metric is the
monthly bill
Insights
• Money is the main anchor for the user’s perception of their water usage
• “I try to maintain $50-$60 per month.”
• The moment where the user has their usage in mind is during the payment process
• “The PG&E website has some information but I’m only focused on the bill”
• The user isn’t provided with any specific usage statistics, so they don’t have those in mind
• “My bill only shows the payable amount”
• “I try to maintain $50-$60 per month.”
• Pat’s bill shows total monthly usage in comparison to other months
• Users have adapted due to the nature of their environment

Opportunities
• Providing more usage information so that the

user can see specific areas where they fail
• Redesigning the way the bill is presented so that
water usage is more important to the user
• More ways for the user to get detailed
information about their usage (data monitors)
• Un-intrusive tools that allow the user to change
their consumption

How might we
• How might we use the bill as an anchor for change in

the user’s consumption
• How might we celebrate water conservation to
motivate the user to continue their actions through
positive reinforcement
• How might we instantly inform the user about their
consumption using price in real time usage
• How might we punish the user for overconsumption
using money as an anchor
Rough competitor analysis

Explorations

Opportunity Framework
Reducing water consumption Needs Painpoints Opportunities Success Criteria

Final 8
1. Live water conversion (live conversion from liters to $)
2. Water informant (tells you what you could do with the saved water)
3. Payment interception (inform about water usage during payment process)
4. Water buddy (pair up with someone to learn to save together)
5. Water snitch (automatic post on social media telling everyone about your failure to save)
6. Automated water assistant (tell it what you want to do and it will provide the appropriate amount of
water)
7. Level up system (levels based on usage performance)
8. Bill forecast (forecast telling you how much your bill will be depending on your current average usage)

2 point scale
*Numbers refer to the order that the ideas were

created, just for me to identify them quicker.

Using Material Design
I set out this project with the personal goal of using material design
guidelines in my process.
To achieve this I used the material design sketch plugin and followed the
guidelines on material.io to the best of my ability.
I would like to study material design more again in future projects to

understand the intricacies in the layout as the tiny changes can make a large
difference to the overall composition of the screen space.
Furthermore, I want to study and experiment with the new material design
refresh.

• Highly addictive
OPIOIDS • Pain medication, Heroin, Fentanyl
• People aged 16-28 are currently

being affected the most
6
SCALE
Causes 1 in 5 young adult deaths in the US
Total economic burden of $78.5 billion per year
75% of people who began abusing opioids in the

2000s started with prescriptions

HISTORY
In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies
reassured medical communities that
opioids are not addictive.
Prescriptions for opioids tripled between

1991 and 2011.
The government began to crack down on

prescription painkillers, leading to the rise of
the heroin epidemic.

SACRIFICIAL DESIGN CONCEPTS
32
USER TESTING CONCEPT FEEDBACK

Pillar
• “I think it’s important to reiterate the idea that

taking fewer pills is always better”
• “It should include further breakdown of dosage

within the day just so I have more information”
• “Positive reinforcement would be nice to let me

know when I’m doing well.”
33

Goals
• “I don’t want to see my negative score, if I’m
already feeling bad it’s doing nothing to help.”
• “I like the small goals, they’re not intimidating

and seem easy to achieve”
• “I like how simple it is but I want more

information about the objectives”
34

Dependency
• “It wasn’t clear to me that this is talking about

withdrawal symptoms”
• “The graph makes sense to me for tracking

progress”
• “I’m not convinced that the questions can

provide an accurate score for dependency”
35
USER TESTING LEARNINGS

Pillar Goals Dependency
• Needs more information • Clear information • Concept wasn’t

on dosage convincing
• Smaller milestones are
• Needs to have more easy to work toward • It should take more
positive reinforcement information from the user
• There is no indication for
time • Graph was useful for
tracking progress
• Needs more background
information on specific
goals
36
USER TESTING LEARNINGS

General
• Reiterate the mission of taking fewer

pills
• Friendlier language
• More positive reinforcement
37
REFINED DESIGN
“I don’t want to see my score”
People did not want to see their score because it made them
feel as if they were always doing something wrong
“I think it’s important to reiterate the idea that taking fewer

pills is always better”
So that people are assured that taking fewer is the main mission
of the app
38
REFINED DESIGN
“I like the small goals (they) seem easy to achieve”
Smaller goals were less intimidating and easier to follow
“I like how simple it is but I want more information about

the objectives”
The objectives are easier to follow if people had an
understanding and motivation to follow them
39
REFINED DESIGN
“The graph makes sense to me for tracking progress”
A trend graph was easy for people to understand where they
stand in their journey
“Positive reinforcement would be nice to let me know when

I’m doing well.”
Positive feedback is important for people to know how they are
doing, rather than being shown raw data.

!3 Hridae Walia
The game I chose and why
The game I chose is Fallout Shelter. It is a mobile game that is a part of the bigger Fallout Franchise,
set in a world where all major countries nuked each other and people took shelter in Nuclear Fallout Fallout 4 Screenshot (PC)
Vaults. I chose this game because the Fallout series is one of my favorite game series of all time and I
figured that if I am going to do create a game I should base it off something I have passion for so that I
am motivated to do justice to the series when I convert Fallout Shelter into an analogue game.
The base game is a free mobile game which means that its mechanics were made to be short,
simple, fun, and addictive. Even though it is one of the more complex mobile games out there it still Fallout Shelter Screenshots (Android)
remains basic while maintaining the feel and story of the Fallout franchise. In the game you play the
‘overseer’ who is the leader of a vault, your main objective is to run the shelter in a manner that keeps
your occupants happy.
A major component of the game (and what I like most about the game) is the looting mechanic
where you can send Dwellers out on missions so that they can come back with loot and resources to
give to other Dwellers or to keep for themselves. Weapons allow you to attack other areas like raider
settlements and fortresses so that you can get more precious loot. Sometimes your vault will be
attacked by raiders and if you are not able to defeat them, they will destroy your Vault and you will
have to start over from scratch.

Original prototype
➤ Basic map design where the players have vaults located in the 4
corners and have to take over the rest to win
➤ Players use basic card stats to see what a dweller can do
Perception = how far they can shoot, Endurance = how far they
can move
➤ Players get a new Dweller after every turn. A vault can hold a
maximum of 4 dwellers, forcing players to make difficult
decisions on who to let go
➤ Incentive to go in the middle is to get the draw 5, which lets you
pull 5 random items that could be weapons or armor
➤ There are Draw 1 spots on the way
➤ Loot is completely random, only way to get better loot is to
draw more cards.

• Added damage range for some weapons, determined by dice roll
• Added danger paths that players can go on to get to the draw 5 faster, but they risk getting damaged by a trap or mine
• You can move, then shoot in the same turn.
• Removed endurance stat, player movement is now determined solely by single dice roll (Stat will be erased in final
card design
• Printed bigger Dweller cards so that loot cards fit under them
• Added new Dwellers
• Added Rule sheet
!10 Hridae Walia

v0.2 Rules Feedback
Fallout Shelter Board Game Rules
● Last settlement standing wins • Rules are difficult to understand, organize them
● A vault can hold a maximum of 4 people, if a player has • Explain that the Dwellers are meant to be
extra dwellers they can release them or replace existing commanded by you, they are your minions
dwellers. A dweller who is already out in the field cannot • Change ‘Settlement’ to ‘Vault’
be replaced • Explain perception further
● Weapons can be exchanged when dwellers are within 3
spaces of each other
● Each settlement gains 1 new follower after every turn
● Each dweller has a maximum amount they can move which
is determined by the Endurance stat. If a dweller has an
Endurance stat of 3 and the player rolls a 6, the dweller can
only move 3 steps.
● IF a dweller has a weapon, they can shoot as far as their
Perception stat. If one dweller is 7 steps away from an
enemy and their perception is 6, they cannot hit them
because they are 1 point short.
● If a dweller has no weapon, they can only attack people 1
step away or on the same step as them
● Weapon damage adds up to the existing Strength stat of the
dweller
● If a dweller dies in the field they leave all their loot on the
spot of their death, it can then be picked up by anyone who
goes there
● A dweller can have a max of 1 weapon and 1 piece of
armor
● Dwellers have 25 health

● Vaults have 100 health

v0.2 Test
Who I tested with (2 people)
Round 3 (In class) - 3 people (I added myself as a 4th player)
• Elĳah Haines - Likes to strategize and plays semi-seriously. Used to play the old Fallout 2 game on PC
• Tianyi Huang - Slightly competitive but casual gamer, likes Batman games and Assassins Creed. Has heard of Fallout Shelter but never played
• Jay Wang
Repeated 1 tester to see how the game changed for them
Insights
Board is too complex 3/3
Game is unbalanced 3/3
Better paths 3/3
Colored dots for health are not a good idea 2/3
Need a better way of keeping track of the Dwellers when they are out in the wasteland 3/3
Too many bad items (BB Gun) 2/3
Need a new way of adding Dwellers to the game 2/3
Remove strength, requires too much calculation 2/3
Players should not be able to be in the same spot, allows them to hog loot 3/3
Add upgradeability 2/3
!12 Hridae Walia

Focus: Fixing gameplay and balancing and experimenting with new map
• Need to go back to the drawing board and create a completely new map
• Experiment with ways to track Dwellers in the Wasteland - Use color coded shapes (unique to each dweller)
• Limit to 4 dwellers, you do not get new dwellers anymore since you can upgrade the ones you have
• Remove Strength, now there is only health and perception
• New player cards
• Reduce bad loot items and increase rare items to make the game more exciting and fast
• Added armor in loot to increase health
• Added new weapons (Sniper and laser pistol
• Added individual loot spots to pickup single weapons
Very low fi map because I wanted to iterate and get it right quickly
!13 Hridae Walia
v0.3 Test
Who I tested with (1 person)
• Jay Wang
Insights
• Map needs to be more dynamic

• Still too simple
• New Loot spots are a good change
• Add a currency to purchase
• Limited number Dwellers reduces confusion
• Tracking was easy
!14 Hridae Walia
Focus: Adding Polish and completely redoing map based on learnings from
previous test
• Created completely new map following the successes and failures of experiments
• Added new game pieces
• Color code Dweller cards
• Redesign Dweller cards
• Re-print loot cards
• Increased rare loot again
• Added in game currency, gold coins
• Bought poker chips for health and perception, each team has a color (red, blue, yellow, white, and green for Vault health)
• Added new ‘Warzone’ in the map which changes the map and changes the rules
• Players inside the war zone cannot shoot outside and outside cannot shoot in
• Players can only move 1 space at a time, perception stat is halved in the Warzone
• Warzone has higher concentration of loot and allows for direct passage to any vault
!15 Hridae Walia

v0.4 Test
Who I tested with (2 people)
• Jay Wang
• Olivia - Has never heard of Fallout, mainly plays casual mobile games
Insights
• Map works well
• Elaborate rules very clearly
• Warzone is a unique feature that greatly improves
• Color coding isn’t enough, something needed to identify
individual Dwellers in the Wasteland
• Limited number Dwellers reduces confusion
• Elaborate on rules very clearly since the game has a
unique feature now
• Sniper is too powerful
• New movement mechanics need to be thoroughly
!16 Hridae Walia explained in rule book

Patch-notes from v0.4 to v1.0 (FINAL)

Focus: Fixing small balancing issues, fixing Dweller management, creating
comprehensive game manual
• Ran out of poker chips for the perception stat so changed to nickels
• Created full game manual
• Redesigned Dweller cards to make it easy to identify by linking them to their game pieces
• Bought gold coins for currency
New
