Our story begins back in August 2020 when we first heard word of our assigned teammates, some of us having worked together previously on other projects beforehand. We established communication early on through discord and ClickUp as we all had to work from home due to COVID-19.
We called ourselves Toads and began working towards completing our task at hand. GDD -> Prototype/Whitebox -> Alpha Testing -> Beta Testing -> Gold Master. We work well creatively as we have years of experience as friends and colleagues.
