Aroha's Journey has come to an end

  

    So its finally come to an end. After a very long 12 week period Catch 22 Games has completed Aroha's Journey. On this project I was PM and also Level Designer. I also wrote a few of the Documents such as the Game Design Doc and the Art Bible. So what is Aroha's Journey? Its a 3rd person Action-Adventure game. You play as Aroha who is on a mission to save her sister from the evil wargod Mauhriki.





    So Aroha's Journey was a very interesting experience for me. I was put into the role of leading 4 people to the path way to greatness and admittedly we fell a little short. Maybe it was because of all of our inexperience at any of the skills it takes to make a game, or maybe it was work ethic. Overall looking back at the journey I took to make this game I learned a lot of things.

     I learned its not good to do something very important with both people who are your friends and people who are your enemies. When I went to build my team I picked some of the people I felt I could count on and to some degree I felt this bit me in the ass. So if you are building a final team, make sure that you all have a mutal respect for each other and are all working towards the same goal.




    Overall though even though there were a lot of hardships through the development of this game I have grown a lot as a Game Designer and I'm ready to use my past experiences dreaming about become a Game Designer and my new experiences learned through my year at VFS to further my carrer in the Field of game design. So I end this chapter in my life with this quote
