Short description of the game
This game explores the space in computer games and the space in video/film through seven levels, including UI space, perspective space, and digitized real-world space.:-)

Development Process
To be honest, we never imagined this would be the final form of our game (not necessarily better or worse, just completely unexpected). The final game only shares a conceptual resemblance to our original idea, with everything else being different. Initially, we decided to create a meta game where each level had a different art style to discuss the concept of "space'. As for inspiration, The Beginner's Guide definitely played a part. However, halfway through development, we realized the whole process was both chaotic and confusing, but we didn't have time for major revisions. In the last two days, we decided to take a risk and experiment as much as possible. That's when it becomes totally different from the videos we uploaded on discord. I feel the game might still be a bit chaotic, but I'm glad we finished it.

Did you work in a multicultural/multilingual team over different time-zones?
We were not a multilingual/time-zone team, but we were located nearly 2000 km apart. We communicated and developed the project through video conferences and messaging apps.
