ABOUT PROJECT
The first task I completed for the team was creating the puzzle flowchart, which outlined each puzzle step alongside detailing its theme, mechanics, related items, and event triggers.
This flowchart significantly improved the team's workflow, enabling all roles to work in parallel and eliminating many of the bottlenecks that had previously slowed development.
