Challenges we ran into

This being a virtual hackathon, and our team members living in different parts of the country, it was a hectic task for us to brainstorm, work parallelly and divide the work amongst us. The biggest challenge we faced was designing the 3D models and VFX for the game, as none of us are designers, so we had to take inspiration from numerous online tutorials and other RPG games to work on them.
