Thanks you for checking out Humanoid ReForme!

Hello, I'm Caitlyn Sherman. I'm a programmer on Humanoid ReForme who handled the NPCs. From the lines of dialogue to forcing more to spawn against their will, in four weeks, I made it so you could be your judgemental self. Typically, I do art and simple functions like movement, so this really pushed me out of my comfort zone. For over 30 hours, I did what I did, and this shows it.

Overall Experience:

The experience was overall rewarding and genuinely enjoyable. I learned a lot doing this and feel more passion towards making games. I do wish I could learn widgets more and implement my own aesthetics, but I did get to help out in my own way. I'm proud of what we all made and how we all overcame our own struggles.

Positives:

It worked, which is always a positive. But, more so than that, I learned how to use event dispatchers! It's extremely useful and honestly made communicating so seamless. Also, for the first time I used Structures and Data Tables. I did have a bit of difficulty understanding how and why, but once it was made clear to me, it's so simple to use and call.

Negatives:

Definitely GitHub. For some reason, GitHub wanted me dead. Managed to figure it out, but it was definitely an experience.

What I learned:

Communication and teamwork was phenomenal. Everyone did what they needed without any sort of pressure, and was so respectful and patient with each other. Once during the project, I had a merge conflict that really made things difficult. It was genuinely a mistake - I since learned how to avoid those - but my team was patient with me and could get through it simple enough.

Closing thoughts:

The game isn't technically complete, but also not technically incomplete. Still, I hope it gives some type of enjoyment.
