Postmortem

Successes:

• Good feedback from people playing the game 
• Debugged a lot of this multilevel game
• Able to provide solid educational material around this topic
• Had many new ideas of how I want to improve this game in the future 

Failures:

• Some bugs in the game still that I haven't been able to remove
• Unable to add Firebase connection to create a high score leaderboard; think I may need to move to a different platform 

Lessons Learned:

• So hard to actually spot a deepfake! Tough to make an educational game about a topic that is evolving so quickly. 

Next Steps:

• Develop this on a different platform in order to be able to create a multiplayer game AND to be able to add a score board 
• Add scene in game that asks users to correctly identify the context of an image (e.g. whether a war image is from the war in Syria versus Afghanistan) as this seems to be a bigger problem today than deepfakes
• Add a level to the game that tests players' attention span to further drive home the point that we consume media too quickly and too distracted online, with potentially dangerous consequences
