FIN

After 7 grueling hours spent in a lab with only a cookie to fuel us, Rabia and I fixed our game up nice for our final release! We playtested, killed bugs, put in our multiple endings, and had some laughs as we played through the ridiculous game that we made over the course of 3 months.

Would I do this again? 

Probably not.

 Game development is a pain. The only really good times came out of the creative development process, such as collaboratively coming up with spooky ideas, funny dialogues and interesting game endings. This realization makes me sad, since the sad truth is that we as computer programmers get the short end of the stick when it comes to game development. I imagine that in the real world, writers and creative directors have all the fun, while lowly computer programmers like myself get stuck with sleepless nights and stressful days as we tirelessly try to debug code like slaves, just so that we can make the creative team's vision (not our vision!) a reality. 

I don't want to be their slave! I regret pursuing computer science.
