String Theory - A Management CatTastrophy

Inspiration

Management games, classic browser games, and digital tests used by employers

The Aesthetic theme came off the back of EDF's presentation on energy usage, and Electric Square's "throwing" challenge, inspiring the balls of string

What it does

Controlled entirely by the mouse

intentionally difficult to control directly, but can be mastered with a few careful moves

How we built it

Originally built in PyGames, however start from scratch using Godot. Code done in GDScript, Godot's proprietary language

Assets were made using Asperities

Challenges we ran into

Having to pivot what language the project was done nearly halfway through, and starting from nothing. Draft phase went very well

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Operating with a reduced team size. A productive brainstorming phase. Persistence in the face unexpected difficulties

What we learned

Planning is crucial to having a smoothly run project. Strengths and weaknesses of EACH team member must be taken into account as early as possible in the development process

What's next for String Theory - A Management CatTastrophy

Polishing the 'game feel' of the application, so that the feedback is more satisfying to the user, thus encouraging better play

A simple scoring system, more detailed graphics, deeper UI etc.
