Project Takeaways
This project was the real start in my start in game development journey. Beat Brawlers taught me how to convert ideas into functions and then, from there, gameplay. I also learned how to take responsibility for aspects of a game since I was entirely responsible for setting up the metronome system and applying it to the rest of the game. At the time it felt like I wasn't contributing as much due to my then limited understanding of C#, but in reality I was actually working on something that was core to the game.
