POST-MORTEM### - be honest

5 things that went well - Kieran

  1. Core game was completed on schedule!
  2. Team communication was good, weekly meetings to keep updated and stay on track
  3. Worked together to solve problems, every issue that one person couldn't fix, others helped to do so
  4. We all used source control effectively - everything done on branches and merged appropriately
  5. Our first build ran with no engine/game mechanic issues

5 things that went badly - Dean?

  1. Story wasn't implemented as we would've liked and ending leaves more to be desired
  2. We weren't able to get voice acting recorded from various languages and therefore removed all language
  3. Some tasks took too long either due to external reasons or bugs (save/load)
  4. Issue tracking could have been better, some were left open and/or duplicated and possibly too many were made to begin with
  5. 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?

  1. Cut more stuff earlier to help prioritize better
  2. Specialised roles at the start of the project with shared input across roles
  3. 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
  4. Optimization and unification of code - this is a minor point
  5. 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
