Purpose/Goal
Portray the experience of creating interactive media as a form of research.
Challenges & Successes
A significant success was how I executed on a well-scoped vision from start to finish. By providing a clear structure, I was able to compartmentalize sections of the work and still allow myself room to experiment and play with code. Overall, the process was smooth; the major challenge was figuring out how to provide some sense of mystery and difficulty to the player while still wanting them to understand the essence of the experience of using interactive media as a form of research.
