This project was to explore game development as both a technical and creative field. Inspired by the growing importance of coding in today’s technology-driven world, the project aimed to understand how video games are created rather than only experienced as a player. The project focuses on developing a 2D pixel-art game titled Saving Apollo, which was designed not only for entertainment but also to deliver meaningful messages about hope, loss, and perseverance. Through this process, valuable skills in coding, planning, and problem-solving were developed, along with a deeper appreciation for the complexity of game creation. This report documents the development process, challenges faced, and lessons learned throughout the project.
