Create a series of 4 preschooler games and 1 world, having as central character the popular Thomas the Tank Engine.

Challenges

This was the first project we had to implement a “world”, which brought different integration issues with the existing platform. For a particular game (Making Tracks), there were countless issues with the scenario.

Solution

The wrapper library for game implementation has been fully implemented. We had to make lots of game design decisions to move the project forward.
