Production Reflection
What was Successful
-
The level of trust and communication was high during production
-
We succeeded in making a light-hearted platforming game, completely remote
-
We were able to easily distribute and support each other with our tasks
-
Our organization and meeting schedule was solid and productive
What were our Setbacks
-
We weren't able to playtest our game that much - and this would have been useful when determining the difficulty progression for the levels in-game
Production Takeaways
-
This was a super fun game to develop, and was a great first step into developing a larger scaled game
-
Developing a production plan and setting milestones are useful when working on a collaborative game development
-
I found a growing interest in working purely in pre-production, contributing concept art or working as a Producer
