Starting the project the first crucial thing to do was to dissect Valkar's GDD and see what was the most important aspects to capture in the vertical slice that would demonstrate the core essential experience.
There was several areas that felt like they need to be presented in the vertical slice this being the fear mechanic where enemies will effect a health system from their presence and lead Misho to panic attack and pass out. The other crucial aspect is the look and tone of the game, one of the reasons I wanted to work on the game was the art style and the potential it has to make great looking characters.
The group had decided on a section of the game to make called the fountains of riddles which was half way through the game which see Misho meet a monkey called Zingo and partake in riddles with him. It also sees Misho fight against a giant minitour under Zingo's control.
