As a team of beginners, we faced several obstacles while creating our first game and development project, a 2D Mario-inspired game focused on climate change. One of the biggest challenges was understanding and implementing game physics, such as gravity, jumping, and collisions. We also struggled to find suitable game assets that aligned with our climate change theme.
Learning Godot's interface, scripting language, and game development concepts was a steep learning curve. Time management and balancing other responsibilities were also challenges. Come on, despite these difficulties, we persevered and learned valuable lessons as we made our first game as well as our first development project.
