A scientist's failed experiment dooms the Earth causing eternal warfare between Eggs and Potatoes. Eggs seek paradise, safety and hope but instead find purgatory and hell. An endless chain reaction between those who fight and those who run.
How much experience does your group have? Does the project use anything (art, music, starter kits) you didn't create?
All members familiar with coding, but all new to the specific tool that they used (GameMaker/GML Code). Members used AI for the project image(visible in this page) and code debugging and certain implementations but majority was done by ourselves. Assets were by the developer of Brotato.
What challenges did you encounter?
It was fascinating (painful) to learn about GameMaker and how it compares to other game engines. The way we had to implement many gameplay mechanics was very different yet enlightening. We faced many challenges along the way including time crunch and main menu issues causing us to scrap a detailed and high quality menu. Ultimately, this project taught us a lot about GameMaker and we faced an equal amount of fun and challenges.
