Overall I'm really proud of all that I was able to create within 4.5 months. This project was meant for me to see the viability of solo dev as a career path, and it has proven to me that while I may be capable of creating games alone, it most certainly is not something that I would want to do nor is it financially viable.

The game has done abysmally in terms of profitability as I have barely made back the Steam submission fee. I attribute that primarily due to the games utter lack of marketing, as I believe that the game has good quality, considering there are players with up to 20 hours of playtime, way above my expected 2-4 hours. The game also has gotten several extremely positive reviews from players with far more playtime than the game was designed for which was both excellent and heartwarming.

​

One of the things that I think went excellently in the project was the scheduling and my predictions for how long various tasks would take. I was able to complete every milestone within the timeframe I wanted and was able to release a game I was happy with before my school year started.

This game also taught me where my skills are lacking and where I really need the help of teammates for future projects. Unsurprisingly these gaps in my abilities were largest in the areas of marketing, sound effects, and general aesthetics as the game had no marketing, sounded bad, and was mid when it came to graphics.
