Team - Monsters and Dragons

Team Monsters & Dragons worked together over the course of 6 weeks to create their first game. Working on game elements such as the story, character designs, music, backgrounds, and game mechanics. Team Monsters & Dragons worked together, utilizing agile methodologies, to publish this game. To accomplish this, the team members had to learn to stage and move character sprites, edit backgrounds, and use counters to lead players to different endings of the game. The team also encountered many bugs and learned to work around obstacles. The end result is Monsters & Dragons, a visual novel featuring custom-made art and an exciting original story with a twist.

All team members had no prior experience in creating games. All members had previous experience with coding in Python, but not with Ren’Py. The project used free music, sound effects, and backgrounds, which were edited to fit the game better.
