Reflection

Working on this game project has been an exciting and creative journey. It allowed me to explore various aspects of design, from developing the story and characters to refining the visuals and gameplay mechanics. I enjoyed creating a colorful, vibrant world that balances cuteness and adventure, while also conveying deeper themes of healing and hope. The process of designing Candy's character, the virus, and the different abilities was both challenging and rewarding, as I had to ensure they all fit cohesively into the game's narrative. Overall, this project helped me enhance my design skills and gave me a deeper appreciation for storytelling through interactive media.
