Behind the Game

One day in 2017 I visited a friend of mine. He showed me a game his brother had made. The game was very simple. You were a burger and your goal was to get to the ice cream without getting hit by a football.

In 8th grade we had to choose an elective. My friend and I chose Innovation and Game Design.

We started off by learning the fundamentals of the engine. Then we started working on our own projects. I quickly remembered the game my friend showed me and I thought "What if the burger got powerups?"

I then began working on the game and sometimes I would show my friend how far I was with the game. It always felt like he was on the team, even though I was working on it solo. Therefore I have decided that the game was created by 1.5 people, as it would not be the same without him.

I know this game is not much. But to me, it holds a memory of a great friendship, and it became the start of my game development journey.
