What Went Wrong

Misjudged the scope

Created too large of a demand for art assets

Inexperience

Time Management

What Went Right

Learned a ton about dealing with sprites, scale, and gamespace

Created a lot of really fun cool looking art assets

Got the sidescrolling and climbing mechanics working

What We Learned

Pay attention to scope

Know your limits

Keep art to a managable amount

Even still, don’t be afraid to push it

Thanks!
