The showcase was honestly not successful for Those Left Behind. the team was told by the technical designer in the late hours of the night before that the new version of the game was not in a playable state. For most of the event there was no working build of the game from the second playtest.

Ironically, we were the team with the most merch so at the very least our table was hella swagged out, I knew my commitment to the Eras Tour would pay off some day.

On the bright side I got to play (and finish) Lament, my game concept from last semester that was developed by another team (link to their dev blog). Huge shout out to them because they did such an amazing job and I loved playing it. If one of you are reading this – thank you for bringing my idea to life, you should all be so proud! I so wish I could’ve had a hand in the development but I feel successful as a game designer with how well my GDD was taken in to create their vertical slice.
