Design comments
The game’s design was pretty simple and straightforward. The hard part came from the need to understand electrical installations and make the game system based on the real installations. That required learning and adapting a large portion of knowledge in a very short time. We had to make a system with our programmer that was simple enough to turn it into a game but still as realistic as possible. We came up with a system where we made every component and wire into a node that we could track and it was my job to make a blueprint out of the nodes. Those blueprints where then implemented by our programmer.
