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.

The green screen is not visual friendly. I stuck here for a minute or two before I close the game. Is that a bug or just part of the game?
Yeah, that’s intentional—neon green separates more easily from the foreground in computer systems, so it's often used for special effects. I wanted to use it to highlight the illusion of perspective in computers. But I’m thinking of making the color a bit friendlier. btw did u get lost in that level?
Absolutely stunning work, this has inspired me to take a look at how I approach my work and art further.
Mindblowing stuff! I love the mixed media aesthetic and its a very unique approach to the theme. Love it <3
Woah, this is really cool, i love the visuals and story. Really inspiring
