Personal review:

The making of this video game was a fascinating experience for several reasons:

>>I’ve been eager to dive into game development for quite a while, and getting the chance to participate in The Sandbox Academy was a great opportunity to get a sneak peek into this world.

>>My role in this project was primarily on the artistic side, where I modeled most of the interactive assets in the game and brought the main villains to life. Having our game receive recognition for its artistic direction was deeply gratifying for me. Every asset was created using Vox Edit.

>>The teamwork experience was exceptional. We were all extremely involved and compromised, and we also had lots of fun during the process. Our vision of creating a video game full of humor, inspired by the early 2000s cartoons, remained consistent from start to finish. The pre-production phase, in particular, was exhaustive. We gathered tons of references, and I believe that’s what gave the project its originality and coherence. Whenever you approach a creative project with both playfulness and commitment, great things happen.
