Game Description

WildFeed is a fast-paced, zoo-themed first-person game where players feed hungry animals before time runs out. Armed with food projectiles, you’ll sprint across a colorful low-poly zoo to satisfy the unique hunger patterns of a tiger, a penguin, and a deer, all while managing chaos and scoring big. 

Expect tight time pressure, funny interactions with NPCs (like the ice cream vendor and zoo guide), and a balance of casual fun and resource urgency.

Postmortem Reflection

What Went Right:

• Fun and reliable feeding mechanics with a dynamic hunger system

• Consistent low-poly art style for a clean visual identity

• Branching dialogue system via NPCs (adds depth and humor)

• UI and polish were completed on time and were well-received

Challenges Faced:

• Communication and role shifts due to uneven participation

• Full level redesign mid-project reduced dev time

•  Merge conflicts and prefab issues using Unity Collab

•  Burnout from last-minute crunch

What We Learned:

•  Plan scope and playtest early, avoid art before gameplay is validated

•  Assign clear roles with deadlines

•  Prepare for system integration and always back up assets
