16. Initial Reaction - Advergame
• At first I though it would making a straight
animation but when actually making these
characters it gives you a general perspective
on what it takes to design and putting the
thought process into each character takes a
lot of characteristics because you have to
think about each character and what they
would be like, so it makes me change my
perspective on how any game with a small
story in is made.
