BEHIND THE SCENES / BTS

this game was my very first attempt at creating a larger-scale game within the Unity Engine. i had gained a little experience from creating Windows 10 Simulator, and Windows XP Simulator, but i was ambitious, young (and a little stupid) so i wanted to create something even greater.

the process of using new tools, creating scripts, systems, and mechanics for a game like this taught me a lot about game development as a whole. unfortunately, i was a little too ambitious, i'd even consider this game to be one of my failures. however, i am still determined to come back to it one day and completely have it polished and overhauled, just like i wanted to when i was just starting out.
