Hendrix College – Post-Mortem Report

Genre, objective, and theme:

2D art experience puzzler?

-Attempt to salvage a couple’s teetering marriage by carefully putting together the clues and the right words needed to bring the two closer together without causing either to spiral into depression.

Theme: The pen is mightier than the sword…

Existentialism. Life.
Initial goals:

We sought to have a game with a story that develops based off of the user’s decisions/actions and to have at least 3 scenes.
Goals Met:

We managed to create a game that has 3 branches in story path.

Three scenes were created(bedroom, living room, kitchen)
Tools used:

•  2D Art: Piskel, Photoshop Touch
• Engine: Unity – C#
• Sound/Music: Logic Pro
• Misc: TexturePacker

Where did you spend unexpected amounts of time?

Character animations/graphics and Singleton objects. (objects that remained constant through scene loads)
What broke at the last minute?

• Build issues were abundant. We had to resize every scene to fit the 960×800 required for LD.
• The sprite filter was not working in the build. [fixed by removing bip mapping]
• Cloned characters.
• Dialogue/info textboxes weren’t displaying.

Improvements for final:

• Better looking and functioning GUIs
• Integration of the rest of the story/dialogue
• Functioning Depression Meter
• Credits screen
• Delineation of textbox ownership
