Developing a game is much more than just coding. It requires creativity, design and teamwork. Within TeamDerpalert we embraced these challenges, improved our skills and worked together to create our very own game.

During high, I learned coding and immediately fell in love with it. After learning the basics, we were assigned a project in which we had to design our own small computer game. This project was so much fun that I decided to do something similar outside of school. I asked around and soon found over 20 people who were interested in joining. I did not just catch the attention of programmers, but also 3D-modelers, screenplay writers, level designer, business majors and music majors. None of us had any previous experience but what we lacked in knowledge we made up with enthusiasm.

Over the course of 1.5 years, we developed a small game where one geometric shape has to defend itself against all the others. Even though we never officially published the game, I consider the project a huge success. Learning how to work on things that inspire you, within a team of others that share your passion and learning how to efficiently collaborate was an amazing way to spend my free time.
