Gogo On A Date was created by Metal Spoons Productions.  In the game, the player plays as a farm animal who was unfortunately missorted. Luckily they are presented with the opportunity for survival and to form a meaningful relationship at the same time. Featuring 4 different endings, Gogo On A Date is a fun adventure for anyone.

When we originally chose to use Twine we were told that we may have difficulty getting images to layer on top of each other. Without the ability to layer images in-engine we would of had to resort to preparing the images in Photoshop. I decided to do research into the problem and was able to figure out a system for layering images within Twine that was also easy for the other team members to understand. This led to a faster workflow that allowed us to spend more time on other parts of the game.

The UI in the game was designed and implemented by me. I wanted to make sure that the player had all the info they would need without the need to scroll down or look at a separate menu. I was also able to design it in a way that was easy for other team members to go in and make changes such as editing dialogue or adjusting the amount of Rizz gained.
