Project Retrospective:

Very proud of the work we were able to get done in the 7 days we had to create the game. I am really happy with the NPC generation system and how it creates emergent gameplay experiences within the subway. I find it it surprisingly fun to synergize them with different items and strategize the best way to reduce my chances of being picked. The entire game was made in about 25 hours of work, with most of the work being done on 2 long days. Being a student I had other classes to attend to and I ended up getting mono during development which really limited the amount of time and energy I had for the project. Given another week of development, I would definitely add a tutorial and focus on the FTUE to make sure players know what is going on. Currently you are just thrown right into the action. I plan to continue working on this project to fix bugs and add new NPC types, as well as exploring round modifiers or special events that can mix things up.
