Communication and Documentation

The primary challenges the team encountered while developing Plabmar Plunder were a tight budget and streamlined communication. Collaborating with Racoon Studios, developers based in Ukraine, enabled a faster development timeline but also limited the project’s scope and resources. We relied heavily on clear documentation and effective communication to overcome these obstacles, convey our vision, and ensure alignment.

The main character of Plabmar Plunder, Doug, was designed to look as cute as possible while also simple enough to be believably drawn in a notebook
To differentiate our game from other mobile infinite runners, we decided to give Doug a gun with his spaceship, so the game is not only about dodging obstacles, it is also about destroying meteors to gain Plabmar, the game's currency
We wanted to add specific powerups that players could pick up throughout the game. The guns, shown here, deploy two guns that fire rapidly
To create a small sense of community and competition, we created a leaderboard where the player's high scores would be displayed
