Production
Challenge
During the development process, the biggest challenge was how to keep everything on record. When I implemented a feature in game engine, it usually took multiple iterations to have a good results. So I kept development logs everyday, writing down every step I did for a feature. It turn out to be an efficient way for the project for it provided the development history, easy to trace back which part we did wrong and which part still needed to be improved.
