Postmortem
Q: What challenges did you overcome?
A: For this project myself and my team had quite a few challenges in terms of mechanics, schedules, personal issues that got in the way of turn-ins or meetings. It was a long project with many stepping stones but we managed to find a way through and solve any issues we came across. Thankfully I had an amazing team of classmates to work with and we meshed together really well and could usually problem solve efficiently and quickly. One of the bigger challenges we usually came across were coding issues from the many different mechanics we were attempting to implement. But we could usually put our minds together and figure out how to do it or google something and do more research to find what we needed to get the mechanics to work.
Q: What challenges did you fail to overcome? How did this affect your project?
A: In the end, I feel the only challenge we failed to overcome was not being able to get the game to be quite as polished as we would have liked it to have been but we made sure to prioritize the mechanics and coding over the looks.
Q: What could you have done to avoid these issues?
A: Truthfully, I'm not sure there was much we could have done to avoid the issue of the overall polish of the game. If we managed to solve the coding issues quicker, we would have had more time to polish it up more and make it look more like what we had envisioned, but for what we were able to accomplish, I am very proud of my team and I for managing what we did.
Q: What are you planning to do in the future to avoid issues similar to these?
A: Now that I have more knowledge for a variety of more mechanics, in the future it should require me to do less research and be able to focus a little more on polishing the game.
Q: What is something related to the project in terms of progress or productivity that you were extremely pleased with?
A: Overall the game in general is something I am very proud of. My team and I managed to create this game out of nothing and managed to fix the issues within the team majority of the time. We could be one another's resource to fix problems or put our heads together to research different parts of the mechanics to try to figure it out.
