I was one of two primary developers and designers on Lofi Worlds, and was the primary programmer, implementing the menus, data systems, timer system and many other components. Making a game/tool intended for long-form use was a challenge, as was collaborating with others for audio. This was also the first time that I’ve had to get so involved with UI. The game is supposed to be accessible, so usability was very important. Luckily, this project was made as part of a class that provided us an opportunity to test every week, so we were able to get a lot of feedback on usability as we made changes. Some of the biggest lessons learned were about minimizing text and need for user input as much as possible, and having cohesive and consistent UI elements. However, this is also the first game that I’ve actually launched, so there were many, many, many smaller lessons about publishing and polish.
