Postmortem

Successes:

• Successful later-stage playtests with overwhelmingly positive responses to the visual style
• Managed different gameplays and interactions for each level, with different camera interactions + split screens
• Animated the scenes for more immersive game environment

Failures:

• The “Take Up Space” scene does not work as intended; there were too many elements within this.
• Still some confusion about gameplay and timing of scenes
• Need smoother pacing throughout

Lessons Learned:

• Creating this style was far more time consuming than expected: we could have focused on perfecting one mini game before working to create a series of them
• Need to have a clearer split of tasks at the beginning of the project; currently, everyone was doing a bit of everything so there was some redundant work. This was ironed out over time.

Next Steps:

• Refining game rules
• Refining overall gameplay and gameflow 
• Clarifying where players are playing together and where they compete against each other
• Fixing “Take Up Space” scene
