So.... this is it! My last blog post....
This has been a whirlwind of a semester and year. No one thought that we would be finishing the college year and for some of us, including me, our final days of college stuck at home. But we have accomplished so much whilst under this pressure.
We actually managed to code an entire freaking game! Like that's amazing and something each and every member of my team should be proud of.
Is there things that we would do differently? Yes! Personally, I would've liked to have known sooner that we weren't using inkle anymore. I spent so long trying to figure out how to connect the days in the program, time that could've been spent on helping Emilia with the code and getting all that we wanted in the game done. Yeah communication wasn't great on that instance.
Speaking of what we wanted initially, it would've been great if we could've gotten the student finances idea in the game. I would've made the game a bit more dynamic. Also, I would've liked a more diverse soundtrack but we ended up having to make the music ourselves and we had never done anything like that before so it was tricky...
But yeah, the last week has just ended. We finished the game on Thursday, had it handed in on the Friday and we just had our showcase yesterday. Yes, it was no the showcase we all thought it was going to be but it was still so much fun to see people's reactions to our game, which were great by the way, and to see everyone's projects! We all did great!!
So....it's all over now!
I just want to thank everyone from the media department especially Jeneen Naji, Javad Khajavi and Jack Kirwan for all their help in bringing UNIverse to life!
I mostly want to thank my team. Aoife is such a talented artist, a great friend and has great things coming her way. Aine has been so supportive in this journey and has been the best project manager we could've asked for. We would never had been able to do it without you gal! Emilia had so much on her plate and she executed her job so well! She is one of the smartest people I know and it would not have been the same without her!
Now, please follow our instagram, it's linked on my page! (its the little instagram symbol!)
Also, and I am so happy to say this, please check out the final, finished game. It is on itch or you can find it on our website, https://universemaynooth.wixsite.com/universemaynooth
Thank you so much for sparing the time to read this blog and I hope you love and enjoy the game as much as we do!!
Bye!!!
