Practise 1: Reflection & Project

Over the last few months I've worked on this project to tie-in with my thesis on "How are re-releases affecting the industry?". The above video is the summary of my work thus far. It took me approximately 13 weeks (92 days) to reach the standard of level I did.

Throughout this journey I’ve learnt a lot, had many long nights, endured the tediousness of repetitive tasks and even broke many things!

I think taking on a task such as this was slightly over-optimistic, it was manageable, but it was a lot of work to do for one person. If I had a small team, this would easily be at a much better state of finalisation, textures would have been done and gameplay fine-tuned etc. But having said that, I did thoroughly enjoy the process. I’ve been using Unity on and off for years, yet whilst doing this project I learnt many new things such as optimisation, physics issues, UI creation. And other processes like the transition from 3D modelling software to in-editor and the issues that can go along with that too!


I actively kept my devlog up to date, which shows every achievement and obstacle I came across and explanations as to how I overcame them.

If I were to continue this the project I would aim to have the stage I’ve been working on completely finished (as outlined previously). Although I am quite interested in starting another -just as ambitious- project to better argue my question on remakes in the industry. If I do another project, it will be based on a very popular title that is yet to receive a much needed modernisation. As this time, I remade a game *I* like, and one that not many people have heard of.

This project will be finished regardless at some point as I really like what I have achieved by myself.
