This prototype was an interesting case of a project developing complex monetization strategies without a clear game design.
I navigated around this issue for as long as I could, but I wasn’t involved in the design, and it ultimately crippled the project. No one knew what the game was, and many people outside design were trying to steer it. After multiple prototype variants it ran out of steam.
Still, it was a valuable learning experience, highlighting the importance of having a clear gameplay model driving a project right from the very start.
On the art side, working with the outsourcing group Adia was a pleasure. We powered through a huge number of assets while building the prototype.
