POST-MORTEM### - be honest
5 things that went well - Kieran
Core game was completed on schedule!
Team communication was good, weekly meetings to keep updated and stay on track
Worked together to solve problems, every issue that one person couldn't fix, others helped to do so
We all used source control effectively - everything done on branches and merged appropriately
Our first build ran with no engine/game mechanic issues
5 things that went badly - Dean?
Story wasn't implemented as we would've liked and ending leaves more to be desired
We weren't able to get voice acting recorded from various languages and therefore removed all language
Some tasks took too long either due to external reasons or bugs (save/load)
Issue tracking could have been better, some were left open and/or duplicated and possibly too many were made to begin with
Although we wanted the game to be about discovery, we were maybe too vague in terms of teaching the player about the game
5 things you might do differently - Kieran & Dean split?
Cut more stuff earlier to help prioritize better
Specialised roles at the start of the project with shared input across roles
Further involvement of culture/themes within the levels, in most places it was not apparent or thought of almost as a "fill in the gaps" even though it was core to the game
Optimization and unification of code - this is a minor point
too ambitious with initial plan, however we were good at adapting and improving our ideas to stay on course for completion
think about obstacles in an abstract way and how you overcame them
BE HONEST BUT BE UPBEAT
GIVE YOURSELVES CREDIT FOR WHAT WENT WELL
dont try and blame for things that didnt go well..... own them
