Where We Were Last Summer
Last summer was the very beginning of the games development. We had implemented and tested the initial concept of gameplay. We figured out what was fun, and what wasn't. Made modifications, and implemented features from the feedback we got. We took down the old demo and are currently working on the newer demo.
