Post Mortem

What went right:

At first, the thought of an Adventure-Trivia game was difficult to grasp. We were able to figure it out and create a system that blends the two genres together into a fun experience.

The style of the game was well done, and the art fit well with what we were trying to accomplish. The game feels like a fantasy world because of the player and enemies.

What went wrong:

Although GameMaker was a great tool to develop this game, but at some points there were things that were difficult to achieve with this engine. Sometimes systems had to be changed, which led to some tedious workarounds.

Working as a group in game development was something that we had to get used to, since communicating and getting all of the assets together could be a challenge.
