Experimental Project | W3
In this post, I am explaining the improvement phase of the game that I developed for Experimental Project, and I reflect on the issues that arose during development. Circular web-like design: Choosing to have a circular web-like design for the rails that the characters follow added a unique appearance to the game, but at the same the design caused me to spend so much time and energy on connecting the nodes manually to each other. Since it looked like a flower blossom, I want
