These last two days, I think I’ve been sleeping for… 24 hours maybe. Half of my time was to regenerate my brain from the Ludum Dare.<\/p>\n

But don’t worry, the Schr\u00f6dinger Team loved the experience! We had a lot of fun by making this WTF game<\/a>! By the way, we were a large team. At least 6, but one day we were 9 (!) around the table coding, testing, designing, drawing, translating…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Working in a “big” team allows in the same time to have a fast work and a slow work. Fast, because we can do more. Slow, because everyone has to approve new ideas. That’s why we needed about 3 hours to agree with the initial idea of the game, after decades of other suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brainstormings don’t work everytime.<\/em><\/p>\n

When we got the idea, our new goal was to make a prototype. Prototypes are essential to balance the gameplay. Unfortunately, we needed 36 hours to make our first digital prototype. During all this time, game designers made a paper prototype, something like that:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, the game we made didn’t integrate all features that we wanted. For example, the game should have a story with different characters (these characters finished on the main menu). Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy playing the game as much we enjoyed making it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Play the game here<\/a> (or wait for the coming soon update which will fix the music bug!)<\/p>\n \n
