I only worked like 25h on it and lost about 5h trying to fix bugs directly due to my inexperience with the the software and game dev in general.\r\nThe good thing is that I feel like I have leveled-up !\r\n\r\nIt is made with CraftStudio (http:\/\/craftstud.io).\r\nDepending on your OS, you probably will need XNA or Mono or -I am not sure what- to play.\r\n\r\n\r\nThanks and GG everyone !<\/p>","title":"Minimalist Encounter"}
