We used a lot of premade assets and learned a lot coding something we hoped would be a little bit of fun. A small third person shooting game where a robot collects scrap and tries to grow plans in a small junkyard with the goal of seeing an upcoming solstice.</p> <p>The farming part was something we definitely wanted to include for the theme.
