PostPunch
Devlog 10: Final
Hello again for the final time!
This is it, our last DevLog. This week we rounded everything up, cleaned up our stuff and made the final build (all other builds will be deleted from itch.io). Post Punch is ready to be played and enjoyed by anyone interested in trying.
The final result
Post Punch is a side view pvp game that you can play with up to 4 players. Mail will drop from the sky with balloons that you can pick up and deliver to the active mailbox, which will change color, dance and sparkle. You opponents however can knock the mailbox from you using a punch or a projectile newspaper attack, so watch out! Whoever delivered the most mail before the timer runs out is the winner!
The Journey and lessons along the way
If you have been following us since the beginning (first of all thank you) you might notice that the final product looks way different from the designs and ideas back in the beginning of the development. This is completely normal for any project, long or short. Learning to let go of ideas or visions due to disagreements or restrictions is a huge part of game development and is a valuable lesson we have learned. In fact, all of our members have experience in their own domain, but this was the first real time that we worked as a team on a game project, start to finish. Of course we learned about game development, but the biggest lessons were in communication. Being transparent, clear and empathetic with your teammates is vital for solid teamwork. This, although not without struggle, is a lesson we all learned and appreciated in the end.
What's next?
This chapter is over, but next semester all our members will be making group projects of their own, in new teams, with new ideas and goals. If you wish to follow the next journey be sure to follow their progress along! All the names are mentioned at the end.
