Postmortem

What went well

  • We managed to create a fun interactive story. The players showed interest in playing multiple times to discover all the possible endings.
  • The collaborative process between team members facilitated efficient development and clear communication.

What went wrong

  • Struggled with adapting the game to various screen sizes due to artwork dimensions and interface, resulting in suboptimal display on medium-sized screens. We should have taken this into account before making all the assets.

What I learned

  • Embracing simplicity can lead to creating something remarkable with fewer resources.
  • I learned to write branching narratives as a valuable skill.
