Process
Before starting any development we spent more than an hour discussing various ideas. The goal was to come up with a game we wanted to work on that we could deliver in the current time frame
Paper Prototype- I designed some levels on paper first which helped inform our development and art decisions
Development - I also took on some programming tasks, adding features like reflecting projectiles as well as creating the levels in unity.
Iteration - after playing the game I added the laser pointer and projectile trail features to make the experience more playable.
Extra Features - having created a playable core game, we were able to add features like moving reflectors and additional levels
