- GROOVITY'S DEVELOPMENT NUMBERS - 23 June 2025
Time InvestedHow many hours have we worked on Groovity so far?This is a somewhat complex metric to measure, but luckily Jira comes to the rescue when needed. In the production of the demo, we have completed 670 tasks to date. And in each one, we distinguish the effort involved (L, M, or S) in executing them. Although they are not a metric of hours, we can make an approximation of the hours that each type of task may take. With 102 L tasks, 290 M tasks, and 278 S tasks, in the 23 weeks that we have been working on the project, we have an estimated 5,880 hours of effort. By the end of the project, we will reach that golden figure of >6,000 hours with complete certainty!How many days/weeks/months has development taken since the first prototype?From the start of the ideation process to the first Proof of Concept, 86 days passed, or 12 weeks, or almost 3 months.How many hours of internal mee…
- HOW ARE OUR LEVELS CREATED? - 16 June 2025
How do we plan the level before creating it?Before we start, the first thing we do is ask ourselves a series of questions such as:What happens during the level?At what point in the game will it appear?What set of elements appear during the level?When the player reaches this level, what should they know and what should we teach them?Do we have any limits or restrictions?By answering these questions, we have the information we need to start planning the level.The next step is to decide on the layout of the screens, indicating what happens on each screen, taking into account the limitations and consistency of the level. For example, we have to ensure that we do not show the player elements they are unfamiliar with in dangerous situations on any screen, to avoid moments of frustration and to accommodate the difficulty curve of the level.With all these questions answered and our screen layou…
- MEET GROOVY - 9 June 2025
Questions about the art: How did the design of Groovy come about? What references or inspirations were key in shaping it? His design is the result of an extensive search for references, followed by a creative process. We were mainly inspired by the retro-futuristic groovy style shown in the Space Groove series of League of Legends, cat figures, and many other cartoon characters with exaggerated proportions and carefree features. What did we want to convey with his silhouette and facial expression? What does his appearance say about his personality? His silhouette is based on rounded, soft shapes that reflect his carefree, friendly, and somewhat mischievous personality. The same is true of his facial expression, which is simple but representative of a playful and determined attitude. How did his design evolve from the first sketches to the final look we see in the game? Groovy's design w…
