What Went Wrong
Misjudged the scope
Created too large of a demand for art assets
Inexperience
Time Management
What Went Right
Learned a ton about dealing with sprites, scale, and gamespace
Created a lot of really fun cool looking art assets
Got the sidescrolling and climbing mechanics working
What We Learned
Pay attention to scope
Know your limits
Keep art to a managable amount
Even still, don’t be afraid to push it
