during this process, I added voice acting in game voiced by me and a friend just for the laugh but another way of making it interactive when players play it. some of the background Imagery and music are the only 2 things I had to take it from online. I had drawn the characters, design the buttons and assets and even some of the background were taken in my university since i based the game in my university.
I even made end credits after player has completed the game, and added steam achievement pop up when a player unlock an ending. There's 2 end credits video, one is for the bad ending and the other is for the good ending.
I even made a mockup, to show what it would look like being sold on steam.
