Final Remarks

Whispering Abyss was an incredible project to work on! The team size of 21 students was the largest I had worked in before and was great to experience. One of the things I learned from the experience was the importance of communication, while I was in contact with most colleagues frequently, there was an instance where I wasn't able to pull to my GitHub branch due to merge conflicts and was told to push whenever and things should resolve fine. However, due to not being able to pull from the development repository, I missed new prefabs getting added into the game and made the rooms with out-of-date prefabs. I ended up having to remake the levels in order for the prefabs to work properly. If I had known about the prefabs being updated, I could have avoided having to recreate the design. From learning Github, to Designing the UI framework, I learned a lot throughout my 13 weeks of development.
