Reflection on 1st Demo: (10/21/22)

The way I had written the game loop I was trying to emulate, I did not succeed in implementing it. It turned out that I sort of partially implemented two of my game loops (moving around, and getting resources). This is my fault, as I failed to actually look at the rubric for the Demo until it was too late, and kind of just freely worked on the parts of the game I thought were most important. 

The game is fun specifically to me because I find it exciting to play games I've made myself. But in reality, I don't think this game has enough conflict or content to be fun for actual players. The only "conflict" currently implemented is the thirst bar, which requires the player to drink water.

If I could go back and do this again I would have looked at the RUBRIC (ugh), and implemented a full game loop. I would likely have chosen to add some hazard(s) that damage the player, instead of adding resources to collect. 

As I just stated, I would add hazards to the game that damage the player like fall damage, poisonous plants, heat, etc.
