I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a game designer and developer throughout the development of Haerenga. I’ve learnt a lot about the intricacies of Unity as a game engine and game design + programming as a whole. Haerenga has been a valuable experience towards developing unique mechanics and interesting features (Straying away from the tutorial hell many aspiring game developers and programmers fall for).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, I feel that I strayed more than I hoped from the very first platformer prototype of Haerenga. I wanted the platforming sections to truly be a difficult precision platformer, but cutting the last island (Where the player would unlock the dash) really hindered that potential difficulty and precision required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, as a whole I’m really proud of the scope, content and polish of Haerenga. Working with Paula on a passion project that we both care about was more than I could have asked for and this project really proved to me that I am a capable games designer and programmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot wait to keep developing the game, polishing it more and maybe even implementing more content for when we showcase our games at the degree show and London show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read these blogposts, or helped with the development of Haerenga to any degree!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
