Challenges and Lessons Learned
Over the course of creating this game, I have faced many challenges and learned a lot more. Creating the intricate puzzles posed a significant challenge, requiring meticulous planning to ensure they were challenging yet solvable. Overcoming this involved continuous playtesting and adjustments to maintain the delicate balance between difficulty and player engagement. Additionally, designing unique sections like the side rooms and the central room demanded creativity to ensure each area felt distinct and contributed to the overall atmosphere.
