Photo with title "What was your favorite part about working on your game?". Alex says "Writing the story of course. At first I just want to build a funny game shitting on UPS customer service, but later (and after I saw Adna’s concept art) I realize what I truly want to do is to use game to tell a story."
Below the text is a photo of an in-game CG of Callie crying.

Photo with Callie and Little Guy with the title "Game Description" and body text: "Callie had a long nightmare last night. It began with a tense dinner with her family, following an ugly argument with her girlfriend Beth. She wanted to go back to her dorm, only to forget the room key…

That’s the last thing she remembered.

Then things got even worse. She quickly realized she was buried alive in a coffin. Sure Callie got a broken apple watch, but what could she do with that huh? As she dug deeper into the watch, something strange began to unfold, and the events of yesterday no longer seemed so clear. Details slipped. Doubts crept in. Was any of it real? And wait, is this description even how it really happened? "

Photo with title "Any other notes/comments?". Vivian says "Thanks for a great semester! <3"
Below the text is a photo of Vivian and Raymond presenting the game to a classroom of club members.

Photo with title "Are there any parts of your game you wish you could have polished more?". Vivian says "I think our game still has further to go in terms of level design (and also tutorializing the game more). Although we have a lot of great levels already, we have a lot more mechanics to explore on a deeper level."
Below the text is a GIF/video of Lyra talking to Lady Cruciera, one of the game's NPCs.

Photo with title "What was your favorite part about working on your game?". Vivian says "I loved watching everything slowly be put together through all our members’ hard work. Especially for the demos, watching people enjoy our game and struggle through the puzzles while having fun was super gratifying!"
Below the text is a GIF/video of Lyra bouncing green light on a level with a timer mechanic.

Photo with title "How did you come up with the idea/concept for your game?". Vivian says "The original idea from me was a platformer where you could shoot light beams in midair to slide on them and go super fast, but that proved to be too broken. Ray and I iterated more on my original idea and created the initial sensor and crystals idea for our very first demo."
Below the text is a GIF/video of Lyra bouncing green light and moving to the next level.

Photo with title "Tell us a little about yourself!". Vivian says "Hi! My name is Vivian Gu and I’m a Computational Media major (media/games threads). As a rising junior at Georgia Tech, I specialize in various kinds of art (concept, splash, pixel, etc.) as well as software engineering."
Below the text is a GIF/video of Lyra bouncing white and purple light beams and moving to the next level.

$Photo with Lyra and Little Guy with the title "Game Description" and body text: "Long ago, humanity received a gift from the gods known as the Divine Prism, a source of pure light embodying truth and knowledge that filtered divine light into forms that humanity could comprehend and safely use. Yet, this harmony did not last long. As the humans’ greed for the power of the prism grew, fractures started to form on the prism’s shell until one day it shattered, its pieces sent to the corners of the human realm. Lightborne is a pixel puzzle platformer where you’ll play as Lyra, a goddess in training. By bouncing light beams and navigating ruins, you will slowly obtain the power of the Divine Prism, all while uncovering the secrets that lie within its broken shards."$
