About this project

Since we started out as a team of two artists, we figured the most doable first game project would be a point-and-click puzzle adventure game because that wouldn't require intricate system design. Right?
 

...

Right?! 

Yeah, so we very quickly realised we needed help with programming, which is when my brother joined the team. While he was working on making a playable demo, Jenna and I tried to come up with a pipeline that allowed us both to work on the art while maintaining a cohesive style throughout the game. It was a bit of a struggle, but we made it work. I did the first sketch of a scene, which Jenna worked out fully. Besides that I did character animation and puzzle design. We both worked on the narrative together, coming up with scripts and world building information.

All in all, this project taught us a lot. Jenna and I both went on to study games after high school. 'It's Simon' made us realize that game development is the perfect playground for exploring our creativity and we enjoyed learning the skills needed to bring our ideas to life. From digital painting, to writing scripts, creating sound effects and designing puzzles, it turned out we loved all of it and more importantly, we learned that the three of us made a pretty good team :)
