Behind the Scenes
- Why there exists fog inside the temple?
- Why the temple vanishes after you exit from it?
- It was game engine (3rd party) bugs that we hide
- But heyyou didnt notice this, right? ?
- Maybe the games that you play now looks like what
you see because - The developer hide something behind it
- Or because they dont have time to implementmore
than what you see

The Impact of this Game Project for us
- None of us works in game industry now, but
- We can now appreciate or even criticize how the
games out there are created - We still enjoy playing games ?
