MINI POSTMORTEM
What Went Right:
- Game was awarded in 5th place among more than hundred competitors
- A new member joined the team during development and highly contributed to the project
- Using assets from the Unity Asset Store made the project possible even with the one-month development time
What Went Wrong:
- Excessive crunch time during the last days of work
- Tutorial and the random events system was not as polished as expected
What We Learned
- Independent of the team experience, building a complete, fun and polished game in one month is a great challenge
- New team members can take a project to a next level even if the project is already in development
