+{{<section title="Getting to Grips with Unity">}}
+
+Our journey into game development kicked off with Unity, and it was a learning curve. Understanding the ropes of this platform required time and effort, especially as we shifted from conventional programming mindsets. Yet, the more we dived in, the more we discovered Unity's flexibility and the wealth of pre-packaged tools it offered, turning our initial challenges into stepping stones for growth.

+{{<section title="Mastering Multitouch">}}
+
+In our quest to make games accessible to mobile players, we encountered the challenge of implementing multitouch functionality. Our goal was to craft multiplayer experiences that seamlessly responded to multiple touch inputs. Despite scouring the internet for solutions, finding a platform that supported both multitouch and multiplayer proved to be a daunting task, testing our resolve and problem-solving skills.

+
+{{<section title="Team Size Dilemma">}}
+
+Our project began as a duo effort, and with the abundance of tasks and questions, we briefly pondered the benefits of a larger team. Yet, the reality of navigating the project with just two members unfolded. Surprisingly, this limitation fueled our motivation. With no one to rely on but ourselves, every hurdle we overcame felt like a shared victory, making the journey uniquely rewarding.

+{{<section title="Bringing Bobola to Life">}}
+
+It all started with a sweet idea - a cute main character, and you, the player, saving it. No time to waste, so we jumped into Unity, made our main character, Bobola, and got into coding. Urgency was our guide to keep things moving.
+

+
+{{<section title="Bobol's Story">}}
+To make the game more engaging, we introduced falling objects to save Bobola. Originally, we planned to use coconuts, but we stumbled upon spike shields in the Unity Asset Store.  
+
+Bobola's original Enchanting Tale:
+
+_"In a magical jungle, Bobola, a unique creature, lives in a beautiful garden filled with enchanting flowers. His home is peaceful, but earthquakes disturb it, causing coconuts to fall from palm trees._
+
+_Your mission is to protect Bobola's garden, saving the magical flowers and keeping the ecosystem safe. Tap the falling coconuts to protect Bobola and his home."_
+
+As time passed, we couldn't replace the spike shields with coconuts, but that's okay. They became a part of our game's identity. With our story, character, and objects in place, we turned our attention to making the game multiplayer.

+
+Now, we wanted everyone to enjoy our game together. So, we decided to make it multiplayer. We divided the screen in two and created a smart counter, counting clicks for each player.

+
+In our project toolkit, we used various tools to keep things organized and clear. Notion was our main hub, providing flexibility along with the helpful Education Abo Option. Google Apps, such as TaskBoard for daily tasks and Calendar for sprint scheduling, helped us stay on course easily.
+
+To see our progress visually, we created a lively Miro board connected to our Gantt Chart, adding color and energy to our project tracking. And when it was time for Showtime Preparation, Confluence was our reliable guide, making sure every detail was in the right place.

+{{<section title="Communication">}}
+
+In the world of project communication, keeping a smooth flow was crucial for our progress. We usually had our sprint meetings with Supervisor Prof. Tobias Lenz at the university, which allowed for direct communication and quick updates.
+
+When faced with disruptions like strikes, bad weather, or holidays, we switched our communication to platforms like WhatsApp and Discord to maintain continuous connection and exchange information. For collaborative work and screen-sharing, we relied on Zoom, making teamwork and shared insights more effective.

+{{<section title="Development">}}
+
+In the world of game development, we used Unity as our main platform to create our game. We harnessed the strength of C# coding and used Visual Studio Code for detailed programming tasks. For smooth collaboration and version control, we depended on Git and GitHub to manage and share our code with each other.

+
+{{<section title="Design">}}
+
+In our design work, we focused on creating characters using Photoshop, along with additional design elements from the Unity Asset Store. Building the website required us to use Markdown and Hugo as our design tools, which helped us achieve a stylish and visually appealing online presence. For presentations and other design tasks, we used Canva to add creativity and finesse to our visuals.
